## Definition

**Hill climbing** — as named in this channel's captured material, a mechanism listed behind GitHub's agent-era playbook, alongside scale numbers and model routing; the source names the term without defining it.

In this channel's captured material, **hill climbing** appears in the handout for the Microsoft Build interview with GitHub's COO **Kyle Daigle**, *GitHub's COO Explains Why AI Hasn't Replaced Developers*. The handout lists it as one of the key mechanisms behind GitHub's agent-era playbook — alongside *scale numbers* and *model routing*: “from scale numbers to model routing to hill climbing.” [^ceaed73e-0e35-5361-bb27-73f0595b541c@72]The captured handout names hill climbing but does not define it or explain how it is used inside GitHub's strategy; the available evidence stops at the naming. No further discussion of the term — no mechanism, example, or quotation — appears in the supplied material, so this entry deliberately refrains from supplying a definition from outside the source. Treat the term here as a labeled mechanism in GitHub's agent-era playbook whose specifics are explored in the source video itself.- **Hill climbing** is named in the interview handout as one of the mechanisms behind GitHub's agent-era playbook [^ceaed73e-0e35-5361-bb27-73f0595b541c@72].- It appears alongside **scale numbers** and **model routing**.- The captured material does not define the term; no outside meaning is imported here.
