Coding agents need infra to apply code changes! (Chat with Tejas from Morph)

Tim (Essence VC) and Ian (Keycard) sat down with Tejas Bhakta (CEO of Morph) to chat about building infrastructure for the fastest file edit APIs for coding agents. He shares how Morph delivers 10,000 tokens/second through speculative decoding, why cursor removed fast apply, and his vision for autonomous software that updates without prompts. The conversation covers subagent architecture, code search optimization, and the path to reliable AI coding at scale. Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:29 - Why start Morph and pivoting through YC 1:23 - The fast apply insight from Cursor 3:42 - How fast apply works and speculative decoding 6:09 - Use cases: when and where fast apply matters 8:19 - Why Cursor removed fast apply 9:22 - Morph's value prop beyond speed 11:58 - Subagent architecture and SDK approach 14:45 - Semantic search and code-specific tooling 19:52 - Building custom coding agents vs platforms 22:42 - Adoption inhibitors and the future of codegen 23:26 - Spicy take: Autonomous software and reliability

Tim (Essence VC) and Ian (Keycard) sat down with Tejas Bhakta (CEO of Morph) to chat about building infrastructure for the fastest file edit APIs for coding agents. He shares how Morph delivers 10,000 tokens/second through speculative decoding, why cursor removed fast apply, and his vision for autonomous software that updates without prompts. The conversation covers subagent architecture, code search optimization, and the path to reliable AI coding at scale.
