The antidote to slop and entropy is giving an agent symbolic context that is language, hardware and database independent. A lot of that valuable content is in Slack.

This is great.

In a decade, we'll look back and miss the chaos, culture wars and shenanigans of the early gen AI days. This shit gets professionalized real' quick. Enjoy the mayhem while we have it. We're all lucky to be in the middle of it.

Meet one of my favorite students: Kiarra (aka Kiwi)

As kind as she is talented. She was paralyzed as a passenger in a car accident. But the life-altering trauma didn’t take her spirit.

Please show her some love. I’ll share your replies with her.

@rohindhar The realtors refer to it as ‘strategic pricing’ and it’s kind of any icky approach

@matt_slotnick awesome! TDX?

Put aside the predictions, his skills as an *explainer* of tech were just out of this world — here in front of what was clearly an audience that had minimal experience with PCs at all.

“the conclusion that AI is going to kill the vertical and functional software business model simply makes no sense”

AI simply isn’t going to kill software companies: after all this panic has passed, we’ll see that AI is the best thing that ever happened to the software industry

More seriously, once something becomes a meme — our best coders don’t code — it’s reasonable for folks on the outside to wonder exactly how much of this is 100% on the level and how much is part of an AI productivity bragging rights arms race

While the software complex has become a “Do Not Enter” zone over the past month, we believe there are winners and opportunities in software space. These are the Top 5 Software Names that we believe are the top names to own in this software apocalypse: MSFT, PLTR, CRWD, SNOW, CRM

If you’ve ever built software at scale, the whole “death of software” thing is hilarious.

Companies don’t win by vibe-coding their own CRM on a Tuesday night. They win by solving problems for their customers, not by moonlighting as Salesforce.

It feels badass to walk into a meeting and declare, “We’re not paying for that anymore, we’ll just build it ourselves.”

Fast-forward three months & you’ve shipped a janky internal tool no one really owns, your real work is on fire, and your boss is emailing you because their “simple CRM tweak” is now your second job.

Congrats, you didn’t save money. You just hired yourself for a thankless CRM owner role that you’ll never be compensated for.
