coming months, which speaks specifically to needs that I have.

And this is really, really radical.

And I'm far and away not the only one experiencing this.

I mean, I've been reading a lot of testimony over the last two or three weeks.

There was one particular engineer, he said that his two-person team now supports thousands of users.

And he described what he now does as moving from playing every instrument to conducting an orchestra.

So this is what a year ago, Andrej Kapathy called vibe coding.

The idea that you have a vibe, you can talk to your computer, and it will start to build whatever you need.

And I wrote a lot about vibe working, and I'm sure many of us are doing that, where we vibe our way through a speech we need, or we vibe our way through a marketing plan, or we vibe our way through analyzing customer data.

You don't really maintain those outputs.

What you do is you maintain a list of intents that become a set of done lists.

And for teams like mine, which we're small, as a small team, everyone is highly motivated, super capable.

They can lean into this and they can do this really, really quickly.

But I think for large companies, there is going to be molasses to put

the best term to it.

Their processes are designed for this linear approval-based sequential system.

They, especially if they're public companies, have to worry a great deal about risk.

they have to go through all of those layers of approvals.

That's the to-do list era.

Those of us who are moving into the done list era are in parallel outcome-based and immediate response.
