- Toyota lean manufacturing has an idea called "genchi genbutsu", essentially meaning managers should "go see the real thing at the real place" in a factory instead of sitting in an office hearing secondhand descriptions. AI coding suddenly makes this practical for software.Unclear if a durable trend, but CEOs and CTOs are back to coding with a fury, thanks to coding agents. I have public company CEOs sliding into my DMs (and “InMail”) telling me about falling in love with shipping software again thanks to Claude Code and Vercel. “Dream accounts”
- I want to be able to tell my Waymo to take 280 instead of 101
- This applies again today, e.g. people are saying the same exact thing now but code can still get *another* 100x bigger while every other vertical grows slower than code.1-2 yrs ago the story was always "AI-for-code works pretty well so far but soon AI-for-every-other-vertical will catch up" Instead, code just got another 100x bigger...
- i can't believe we used to write all this code by hand
