About Me
My name is Marc Brooker. I like to build things that work, and do cool stuff. I like building big things. I also dabble in machining, welding, cooking, and skiing.
I am an engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Seattle, where I work on agentic AI, especially safety and policy for agentic AI. Before that, I worked on EC2, EBS, databases, serverless, and serverless databases.
All opinions are my own.

Agentic software development hypothesis
This is the quality content you come here for, right?
Agentic Software Development Hypothesis:
- Weak form: Any coding task for which a complete specification is available will become trivial.
- Strong form: Any coding task for which a deterministic oracle is available will become trivial.
First objection: Few meaningful tasks have a complete specification. Second objection: Most oracles aren’t deterministic.
- Strongest form: Any coding task for which a non-adversarial (pythic?) oracle exists will become trivial.
