@DeRonin_ I find this truly amazing. I come back to this article every weekend as I try to upskill myself. Thank you for helping us non-technical people build the bridge in this new era, where technical depth isn’t optional
The CEO of a $95 billion company just said something that should TERRIFY every software executive on the planet.
Patrick Collison, the man who built Stripe, went on TBPN last week and compared the entire software industry to frozen food.
His words: "Software has been created years beforehand, freeze-dried, and then prepared at the moment of consumption."
That era is ending.
His new model for software? Pizza.
Fresh pizza, made to order, right then and there.
Exactly what you need, the moment you need it.
That is the future Collison sees for all software.
What does that actually mean?
It means AI agents will build you custom software in real time.
No subscriptions, bloated dashboards and one size fits all.
Software cooked for you, that moment, then gone.
This is already happening.
Anthropic launched Claude Cowork in January.
Within weeks, $2 trillion in software stocks evaporated.
IBM had its worst trading day in 26 years, legalZoom dropped 20% and the entire SaaS sector is in freefall.
They're calling it the SaaSpocalypse.
The old software model was simple, spend millions building a product, sell it to everyone and collect subscriptions forever.
Fixed cost, infinite monetization and winner takes all.
That game created trillion dollar companies: Salesforce. Adobe, Oracle, Microsoft.
Collison says that game is now breaking.
Why? Because AI introduces real cost at every use.
Inference costs, custom creation costs, every single interaction has a price tag.
No more build once, sell forever and he called it the non-Walrasian software regime.
Translation: The winner take all economics that built Big Software are collapsing.
When every user gets custom software built on demand, there is no single winner.
There are thousands of winners or none.
Think about what this does to pricing.
No more $50/seat/month or enterprise contracts worth millions.
Instead, you pay per task, outcome and for what the AI actually built you.
The entire revenue model of SaaS is being rewritten.
Klarna already ripped out Salesforce and replaced it with AI.
Cursor ditched its paid CMS and built a replacement from scratch.
Companies are doing this now.
The dominoes are falling.
The entire industry is being rewritten in real time.
Great read on Agent Teams from Tom.
I got addicted to this quickly, and yesterday afternoon and well into the night, I had agent teams doing so many things it would make your head spin.
In a good way.

Google DeepMind and Anthropic AI engineers don't prompt like everyone else.
I've been reverse-engineering their techniques for 3 years across all AI models.
Here are 5 prompting methods that get you AI engineer-level results:

Every vibe coder should understand:
The basics (non-negotiable):
- .env (what goes in, what should never be pushed)
- npm run dev (local development)
- package.json (scripts, deps, versions)
- npm run build (what actually ships)
- npm packages (install, remove, update)
- git add .env (never do this 💀)
- http://localhost:3000 is not a real URL
- environment variables ≠ hardcoded values
- errors in terminal matter (don’t ignore them)
Nice-to-have (but will save you days):
- npm i --legacy-peer-deps (when deps fight each other)
- .gitignore (what should never be tracked)
- basic git commands (clone, pull, commit, push)
- DB schemas / SQL (if your app touches data)
- auth basics (users, sessions, tokens)
- common dev jargon: divs, components, modals, cards, etc.
- reading docs instead of guessing
- knowing when to ask AI better questions
You don’t need to be a “real dev.”
You just need to know just enough to ship.
Happy vibe coding.
Claude Code can build basically anything.
In this video I build:
- a mac app
- a CLI tool (AI chat in terminal)
- a Mobile app
- a Research Report
- a website
All without writing a single line of code.
This is meant to be an exploration of Claude Code and all of the types of things it can do.

@ghgprotocol if I want to reduce my company’s Scope 3 emissions, e.g., my equipment manufacturers’ emissions where electricity emissions in use of sold goods is a big emission category for them — (1/2)
@bchesky Love it. But you can think even bigger. Airbnb can own the entire traveling process. Currently, you do step 2 and 3 very well. You can add mega value by suggesting locations to people also. Do like comparison sites and ask questions and use their answers to suggest destinations.
@profgalloway@AmanpourCoPBS@hari Agree. Though, I consider it a good thing that Elon is so blunt in his poor behaviour. Then we know to extra cautious. Whereas a lot of other powerful people (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Pres. Biden, etc.) hide their ego and personality flaws making us less on guard twd them. Wdyt?
Intelligence as the ability to hold 2 contrary thoughts in your head at the same time. Elon is:
- the greatest entrepreneur of his generation
- reckless & likely to do more harm than good with Twitter
