As the leader of a team building developer tools at Coinbase, Tina He starts every day with three things: her favorite pen, her favorite notebook, and her trusty MacBook Pro.

Yesterday, Every published He’s Thesis essay, in which she outlines how the dawning era of AI agents will bring about a host of new design needs, along with lucrative opportunities for bold founders. We caught up with He at her favorite bookstore, McNally Jackson Books in Lower Manhattan—which also happens to be her favorite place to work. She told us about her love of reading, the books that have inspired her, and the physical tools she uses to capture her thoughts as she’s busy shaping the future of agentic AI.
