“And I think that's a new and interesting divide where before we were like, I need a technical co-founder and that's not really it anymore because everyone can code. I think it's about your set of sensitivities and desire to make something new and go fast versu…”

“One of the things that we talk about internally is what I call the reach test, which is like, do you just like, when you wake up in the morning, do you like reach for it organically?”

“If an engineer is not using AI, like I'm not going to work with them.”

“I can tell you we have about almost 7000 paid subscribers across all the apps in the media. And altogether we do about like 1.3 million in ARR. Growing really fast. We grew ARR 45% this quarter.”

“Like yesterday I was at Dev Day, OpenAI Dev Day, and I got this like cool plaque that was like, you've processed ten billion tokens through, through OpenAI, which is, it was so cool.”

“Claude code, everyone inside every, that's basically what we use. If you're building something, you're using Claude code.”

“Because I think that that's the model that we use most for the apps that we build, like inside the apps. It's incredibly powerful and it's incredibly cheap, which is great.”

“And Opus four has it it's really wild. And I think that's super important because it opens up all these use cases where you might want to use a language model as a judge.”

“We're not at a point yet where the people that work at every could do what they do if they didn't know how to code.”

“While I will definitely maintain that we're not anywhere close to anybody being able to like build a conventional SaaS app with zero programming knowledge, aside from just like a demo, there are going to be other forms of software. One of my things is like sof…”

“And I think, A, that'll just, like, help me, like, avoid, like, answering lots and lots and lots of questions, but B, it just gives everyone else, like, much richer, Access to much richer context. And it's sort of, it's basically like a voice note, but like it…”

“Kaggle was built for a time when the people who could do this stuff were people who, like, had, had, like, PhDs in data science. Yep. And it's, like, totally changed now, where, like, anyone can enter one of these competitions and, like, do better than a PhD c…”
