This is exactly the direction I expect AI-assisted coding to go in. Not software engineers being kicked out and some business person pressing a few buttons to have a fully functional app (as is playing out in a lot of fantasies on LinkedIn & X), but rather experienced engineers using AI to generate bits of code and then meticulously reviewing and testing them.

The million dollar (perhaps literally) question is – could @kentonv have written this library quicker by himself without any AI help?

Why is speed important in this context? If the code is published one week/month later, would that affect what exactly? It’s open source.

As it happens, if this were released a month later, it would have been a huge loss for us.

This OAuth library is a core component of the Workers Remote MCP framework, which we managed to ship the day before the Remote MCP standard dropped.

And because we were there and ready for customers right at the beginning, a whole lot of people ended up building their MCP servers on us, including some big names:

(Also if I had spent a month on this instead of a few days, that would be a month I wasn't spending on other things, and I have kind of a lot to do...)
