Getting a surprise shoutout on my all-time favourite pod, My First Million, was something else.
Massive thanks to @gregisenberg and @thesamparr
There’s still plenty of debate about our approach to this market; and that’s fine. As long as we stay true to our mission of empowering people at a time they need it most with the best tools available, others who share that mission will see it too.
Moments like this remind you why you started.
A really special one for me and the team.
we put a meme on a 40-foot billboard in london. jerrynews picked it up, 1m views later...
out-of-home ads are the ultimate CPM arbitrage
same goes for AI job tools. if you're a prompt that writes cover letters the model eats you by christmas
Why agentic coding is overrated and an univestable category
“I actually do think that agentic coding is quite overrated in terms of a market, because I think it moves to the model provider.
The model itself is where most of the value is coming from. I do not think it is the harness or the IDE so much.
It is not super sticky. People move between these things pretty fluidly. I think agentic coding as a market, modulo the model providers, is something I would not invest in today.” @NaveenGRao
Love to hear your thoughts @michaeltruell @amasad @simonw @martinfowler
internet 2 is where the hiring manager prints the CV out
there are 2 internets right now
1. where agent swarms run entire companies, everyone’s hiring “AI employees”, and everyone’s chasing the one-person billion dollar company
2. where a real users, paying real money, takes a photo of their laptop screen with their phone to share something
the hype wave we all live in makes it feel like everything has changed, and in some ways it has
ChatGPT just hit 1.2 billion weekly users, which sounds massive until you realize about 85% of the world still doesn’t use it
we’re debating superintelligence while most people are still figuring out how to share a screenshot
both of these realities are true at the same time
and there’s real money in building for both
the grad who couldn't get hired. entry-level roles are drying up, so 'no juniors' hiring policies are quietly the biggest founder accelerator of the decade
