AI Coding

“Remember, this is the biggest market for AI. Like, 70, 80% of Entropic's trillion-dollar market cap is predicated on this, right?”

“This feels like the future of software. Yes. I can use my Pomodoro timer and it gives me utility and I could build that in, you know, two hours with AI coding. But what AI can't do is build this like handcrafted, this experience.”

“You even heard Sundar Pichai was on you know, with Casey Newton and Kevin Ruse on their podcast, and he explicitly said, like, just straight up, like that they're a little bit behind in, in coding, you know, with regard to AI and everyone knows that this is so…”

“This year, people outside of those labs will spend, clearly will spend something in the order of hundred, hundred and fifty billion dollars to use AI coding. Just to use AI coding. And that's not AI people spending money from NVIDIA. That's real money. And tha…”

“The meme that I have is that your code base regresses to your worst engineer because that engineer who is, you know, very gung ho about AI and is not auditing their code, their pattern starts cementing into the code. And now the AI is referencing their pattern…”

“Something that Ben Mann is one of our founders on the vodcast had written. It's dated in 2021. I think a few months after they started the company and it was like, here's why we should just focus on AI coding. And this is like, you know, this is like five year…”

“AI coding is not just like writing new apps. It's also going in and rewriting all the old stuff that should have worked that never worked.”

“There will be way more software, and that will pick up many more of those use cases, either that weren't automated before, either because they were too small, or because you could actually couldn't automate that thing with software before, and now with AI you …”

“Once you're in that place, and I would say AI coding is in this place right now, no one prices to cost anymore because they're definitely afraid of losing market share more than anything. So the price to get market share, they don't price to cost.”

“Apps got way easier to build, and apps got way easier to be discovered. There's a new way to get discovered as an app. So the playing field reopened in a way that the window was sort of closed you know, over the last, let's say, five years ago.”

“We have products that we build five, you know, these are the estimates from the actual engineer that we will build five times faster because of AI coding. And we will as a result of that, be able to ship significantly more capabilities to our customers.”

“You used to have to spend like two weeks on like a library, you know, change that you wanted to make in your code base. And that's now a 10 minute activity. And, but are we spending any less time building software? No, it's because we're just now doing the thi…”

“I think after people go through this hump, it's an amazing experience because you become possessed. You walk around your day, and you're looking for software problems to solve. You're like, wow, I have this new hammer, and like, now everything kind of looks li…”

“One thing I recommend if you're new to AI coding is to use a proven framework that real coders use that is you know, has a lot of documentation online so that when you ask it to do things, it's going to do it in its little opinionated way which will just make …”

“I think we're seeing that right now with a lot of VC subsidized, you know, AI coding the laws of physics or the laws of finance says that at some point, right, this can't go on forever.”

“You need to have purpose-built solutions that, that solve sort of tailored use cases. Those can be very big use cases, like all of AI coding, but you probably don't want to be in a position where you have to kind of bootstrap this or build it all out yourselve…”

“And so I think this merged experience that comes up is basically something where for anything that actually needs you in the loop, where you can go and make the decision and you're looking at the high level strategy or deciding what you want to build, you're i…”

“Coding is, is definitely the one that is like, you know, this incredible, like, you know, one person could cause thousands of dollars per day of GPU expense if they really want it. So I think this is going to be the killer app for the foreseeable future in ter…”

“First, it's arguably the most widely adopted application of generative AI today.”

“We think that over the next five to 10 years, it will be possible to invent a new way to build software that's higher level and more productive. That's just as still down to defining how you want the software to work and how you want the software to look.”

“In any event, the reason why the progress is so rapid with coding is because code compiles and you can Determine objectively whether it works or not. You can validate it. And so that makes it a perfect area for AI to get better at through reinforcement learnin…”

“Like, if you compare with the impression that you just give a prompt and everything just work out, then it feels hard. But you kind of want to compare with how development was doing before. Now it's actually a lot easier compared with the real development.”

“It's very, very, very useful to come in with a full plan in mind. Expect to get stuck a lot more if you come into diddle-daddle, and I, like, if you're just like, oh, let's add features as we go. It is fun. It will, you'll have fun, and you can just treat it l…”
