Warp's open-source contribution flow is backed by coding agents, with skills for triage, planning, coding, review, and verification. This lets contributors focus on ideas and direction. If you're curious how these agents work, here's a walkthrough of our contribution flow:

1 / Today we’re announcing the launch of Warp AI — AI that’s fully integrated with your terminal. Warp AI can explain console errors, suggest fixes, write scripts, or walk you through complex installations. No external tools needed. No context switching.

@warpdotdev 's revenue is up 19x this year. Our first $1M ARR took 300+ days (it took a lot of time to build an ADE from scratch!). Now we add $1M every ~10 days and the pace is accelerating. Sharing this because (a) I'm proud of our progress and (b) I want the world to know

A sneak peek into a feature we're building: ⚡Tasks Not Commands⚡ Most developers think of work in terms of tasks, not single commands. What would it be like to interact with the terminal using tasks instead of commands? It's like Spotlight for the terminal.

2/7 The first thing we built was Blocks: We group a command and its output into a block. It’s now easier for you to navigate, copy, save, and share units of work.

5/7 And we’ve made sure to build a blazingly fast terminal. We built the terminal natively in Rust, and we render our graphics in Metal.

Over my time engineering at Google, I developed a thesis: there are product-first engineers, and code-first engineers. The best programmers I know are product-first. Wrote up my thoughts here:
Code-first vs. Product-first

A sneak peek: 🧭 Block Navigation 🧭 We added a snack bar so you can always jump to the top of a command regardless of how long its output is. You can also use arrow keys to navigate between blocks.
