The software development industry is approaching a fundamental reshaping point as artificial intelligence's programming capabilities evolve exponentially. Human programmers may soon cease to review computer code directly, instead delegating this labor-intensive task entirely to AI. Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke is betting on this future. His new company, Entire, aims to provide the infrastructure for this new era where "humans don't need to read code." The company announced a $60 million seed funding round on Tuesday, achieving a valuation of $300 million. This vision is not without precedent, as industry pioneers are already practicing it. Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, recently stated that he no longer reviews most of the AI-generated code used to build his AI agent. This trend is driving a fundamental shift in development models, from individual developers to large enterprises, and simultaneously creating an urgent need for new monitoring and governance tools. In this context, Thomas Dohmke founded Entire to reimagine the entire software development lifecycle. The company's core value proposition is that even if humans stop reviewing code line-by-line, businesses still require tools to understand the behavioral paths of AI programming agents. This funding round was led by Felicis. Notably, Dohmke's former employer, Microsoft, the owner of GitHub, also participated in the investment, signaling major tech giants' endorsement of this transformational direction. However, this "hands-off" model poses significant challenges for corporate compliance. Dohmke warns that while developing applications without reviewing code is becoming a technical possibility, no company can afford the security and compliance risks of releasing software with "unchecked code," which could lead to serious legal liabilities. Entire aims to bridge the gap between the efficiency of AI-autonomous programming and the transparency that enterprises fundamentally require. Decoding the "Black Box": Monitoring Without Reading Code Entire's product logic is designed to address the "black box" anxiety brought by AI programming. Dohmke points out that while individual developers like Steinberger can let AI handle heavy coding without review, large enterprises cannot adopt a completely hands-off strategy. Entire's goal is to develop a suite of tools that allows people to understand the activities of AI programming agents without delving into the code itself. As the first step in this strategy, Entire launched its inaugural product on Tuesday: an open-source tool called Checkpoints. This tool connects to a developer's command-line interface—the window where developers issue code-writing instructions to AI agents—and records the agent's operational logs in real-time. This includes not only the specific actions taken by the AI but also its step-by-step "thought" process. This mechanism allows humans to use the Checkpoints tool to obtain information about the operational status of AI-generated applications or to implement fixes if potential issues arise. Currently, Entire supports Anthropic's Claude Code and Google's Gemini CLI and plans to add support for other programming agents in the future. Unlike developers like Anthropic, who focus on assisting their own proprietary agents, Checkpoints is designed to monitor multiple AI agents from different manufacturers used by developers. AgentOps Sector Heats Up: Giants and Startups Vie for Position The founding of Entire signifies intensifying competition in the emerging field of "AgentOps"—a full lifecycle management framework designed for autonomous AI agents. This category includes startups and cloud services that observe or monitor AI agent behavior. Recently, several software providers have released similar products to help companies more easily track the behavior of autonomous AI systems within their applications. A competitive market landscape is rapidly forming. Industry giants, including Microsoft and OpenAI, are actively promoting new agent monitoring products, attempting to secure a position in this fast-growing market. Entire has chosen a business path validated by open-source software companies: first launching an open-source tool, with plans to add a cloud-hosted version with subscription services in the coming months. From Microsoft Executive to Entrepreneur: Betting on Development Tool Transformation Dohmke's entrepreneurial inspiration stemmed from a keen insight into industry trends. He revealed to media that the idea for Entire came to him last summer upon witnessing the strong momentum of GitHub's AI coding tools. After discussing the idea with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and other executives, Dohmke decided to commit fully to product development, leaving Microsoft in August to found the new company. "The world of software development and development tools is about to change dramatically," Dohmke stated. "This is too exciting an opportunity for me to miss." This statement not only explains his motivation for leaving to start a company but also signals an impending paradigm shift in the field of software engineering.
