In a 90-minute podcast, Boris Cherny breaks down the exact setup behind the tool now writing 4% of every public commit on GitHub.
More value than a $500 vibe-coding course.
Save this. In a year we'll know if he was right.
Just so everyone understands the accounting game in the AI/Cloud-space here is a very *simple* example:
1) Amazon “invests” $50B in OpenAI. Amazon records:
- Cash $50B
+ Investment Asset $50B
2) OpenAI uses $50B to buy AWS services. Amazon records:
+ Sales $50B
+ Cash $50B
Amazon is net $0 cash, but now has $50B in sales and $50B investment asset. Great deal! Thats why we see all the majors doing it, and at scale. It is a way to convert their dormant cash pile into revenue, which Wall Street loves.
Most ppl dont realize what is happening. The revenue of these large tech companies is increasing dependent on them being able to self-fund their own sales.
