Jared Palmer, SVP at GitHub and VP of CoreAI at Microsoft, joins Latent Space for an in-depth look at the evolution of coding agents and modern developer tools. Recently joining after leading AI initiatives at Vercel, Palmer shares firsthand insights from behind the scenes at GitHub Universe, including the launch of Agent HQ which is a new collaboration hub for coding agents and developers.
This episode traces Palmer’s journey from building Copilot inspired tools to pioneering the focused Next.js coding agent, v0, and explores how platform constraints fostered rapid experimentation and a breakout success in AI-powered frontend development. Palmer explains the unique advantages of GitHub’s massive developer network, the challenges of scaling agent-based workflows, and why integrating seamless AI into developer experiences is now a top priority for both Microsoft and GitHub.
