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 📈

"We can fix everything" really needs to be on the website. This is the mission. Also, meetup in Bengaluru!!
