I think the abstraction that really matters now for creating value is raising up.
It used to be at one point, Bill Gates wrote some of his first programs in literally machine code and would punch it into his PDP-10.
And clearly, you could be a great startup founder or be a great software engineer and make lots of money without having to go down to that level.
And so I think now with agents, the bar has raised yet again where what you really need is good product business and tech architecture sensibilities.
How should this system work?
Where should the different levels of
you know kind of responsibility belong and like if you can get really good at that then you have super leverage if you are just kind of like like learning the literal kind of like lines of code and how to write them that you know a lot of engineers were before i think that's going to be increasingly below the frontier line of like agents can just do it like equally or better to humans
Corey Grant, it's awesome to be here.
I'm excited to chat.
So, I mean, let's talk in analogies.
What does it mean to digitize sound, which is what we're all experiencing right now?
There's three steps.
Take the physical world, which is vibrating airwaves, and turn that into a digital signal.
So that's what a microphone does.
That had to get invented at one point, right?
Initially, that was literally changing those pressure waves into grooves of a needle carving into a piece of physical material.
Step number two, encode and reason about and then decode that signal, right?
So now we have MP3.
It's a way of compressing and understanding audio.
We've got audio editors.
