Y Combinator Startup Podcast · Alexandr Wang: “This is a Once-in-a-Civilization Opportunity” · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

Like we can develop new sciences.

We can solve problems in health and biology that have been forever unsolved.

We can build new businesses that you couldn't have even imagined before.

There's like new creative opportunities that couldn't have existed before.

So it's like, it's just this incredible cradle of opportunity and risks that I think makes it like no better time to be someone who's a builder and has a strong view of how the world should change.

I think systematic and rigorous thinking are still incredibly important because the abstraction layer, I mean, I didn't used to believe that this is how this is going to play out, but it really has.

The abstraction layer just keeps changing.

So when I started a company, back in my day, we wrote code.

And now, you know, I'm sure nobody here writes code anymore.

That's ridiculous.

But now it's about how do you orchestrate the agents together?

And then it's like, how do you develop these organizations of agents?

Like, how do you get, like, a million agents to work together well?

And then it'll be, how do you get, like, a trillion agents to work together well?

Like, I think that there's going to be this continued...

need to figure out how you structure workflows at the abstraction layer that we're gonna be operating at.

And that form of rigorous, systematic thinking, I mean, traditionally the way this would work in my era of starting companies is you would start by writing code, and then you would have organizations of humans, and you'd figure out how to organize those humans.

And that required systems thinking.

And now maybe it's like much more, much closer to first you orchestrate the agent, then you figure out how to orchestrate like these armies of agents.

But I think systems thinking is never going to go out of style.
