I am *loving* the @dhh / @lexfridman pod
And 1000% about to go down the @OmarchyLinux rabbit hole
But first - on being a coder in this ai future - dhh has it exactly correct
This is an amazing time, it has never been more fun, PM of old was wrong and eng of old was wrong and this new thing that we are all becoming is incredible
Folks building from scratch today are having an amazing time
"We are going to fix everything" is the new Omarchy tagline, but also really should be the new software builders tag line
We got into this because we wanted things to exist in the world
For the longest time it was hard to make this true, required pain and code and backlogs and eng / pm / ux debate and on and on
And so our software mostly sucked, on some spectrum of suckage, and the best teams sucked less
Now we can just yell at the machine until it doesn't suck, for me, in this moment - and we can more easily share and remix each other's software that doesn't suck
This moment is amazing

and you wouldn't believe how long I am and how bullish I am on inference, compute, energy, and this future 📈

Here's my conversation with @DHH. He is back for round 2! It was an epic fun 5 hour conversation about the future of programming, AI, Linux, and human civilization.
It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).
