“If you don’t have leverage, manufacture leverage.” - The Donald Trump School for Clowns

Right. Pakistan.

Does anyone believe this joker anymore?

Law school must be *a trip* right now.

Respect that language breakdown!

Yup, real problem that you hit pretty early - long before multiple agents. When your team productivity increases significantly PR review very quickly becomes a huge bottleneck.

I’d say multiple agents adds the problem that code motion is fast enough there’s multiple rebases for most merges.

So I think that - for engineering at least - the value generation is there.

Is the value capture there for the model provider is a different question. Dunno about that - not my area of expertise.

In terms of engineering productivity, the value is high, so I expect the price can be high (modulo competition keeping it down, we’ll see how market dynamics shake out).

What is the value of a product that doubles (or better) the impact of a head that costs the company >$300,000 USD/yr?

It’s possible! We would love to do the Canadian Rockies again.

Got a place we can park this?

Yeah, it’s *kind* of a mess right now.

We might make it up there this summer on a road trip though!

So I hope we’ll see lots of people able to make things they otherwise would never be able to achieve.

Maybe I live around really nerdy people, but I believe humans are really creative - given some tools - remember geocities? MySpace?

The ability for anyone to make software is literally the original microcomputer dream.

But only a small fraction do today.

Another finds HomeAssistant really frustrating, so now Claude Code makes his home automations.

A little more of an “out there” use case today, but smart home stuff is getting more and more accessible.

I hope not. I’ve seen people get really creative with it - one friend recently wrote a tool to to crawl his kids school website daily and email him what their homework is for the next day and if there’s anything they need to bring.

Thats’s not a niche use case.

Can you remap it at the keyboard driver level?

Wow… that is… that is BAD bad.

It is, thank you!

Any chance you’re coming to GDC?

I will absolutely make sure my network knows!

It’s tough being a small studio these days, fingers crossed for all of you 🤞🏻

You still talk to EQ2 folks much?

I miss the old crew ❤️

No, but I did write two more MMOs at my own VC backed startup instead of joining Blizzard or Valve. Still have my offer letters.

Oh, and did you see I built Medium? Like from zero lines of code.

Then ran an ad network that runs on every phone on the planet?

Sure, email is an output, but it’s really a relationship management system

That back end crawls an insane amount of content - all the social networks, LinkedIn, news, etc, to keep track of what’s going on for each person you’re in contact with so you can meaningfully stay in touch with more people.

Whoa, amazing! And OMG how did I not realize that you and @danctheduck.bsky.social were working together???

🤯

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!

That doesn’t sound like a recipe for a good outcome.

What’s keeping you there?

That’s a bummer, I hope he’ll be ok.

Why does he still work with you guys?

I don’t know how we train junior folks up in this system - it’s a legitimate problem.

The easy tickets that used to be passed down to junior folks just get processed in the machinery now.

I’m talking to clients about paths for juniors, but no one has more than ideas for how to solve this yet.
