That's great.

Okay, so today is January 21st, 2026, and this is episode, I believe, 643.

Yeah, all right.

The computer's counting.

So do you have a story that you want to talk about today?

If AI can do the work of five workers, AI is doing the work of five workers with the prompting of one, right?

Like they're impossible to separate.

Mm-hmm.

So that's interesting because if I'm hearing an echo, is that true?

You don't hear it, which means, all right, somebody in the chat, tell me if you hear an echo when I speak, because if you don't, we're good.

If you do, I may leave Andy alone.

But, okay.

So that's interesting because what I am seeing is,

A lot of collaboration with like Boris Cherny talked about how their team collaborates with AI in developing cloud code and co-work and those sorts of things.

Also seeing the folks from Every talking about how they collaborate with AI and do it cross-function within their team.

But it doesn't seem like it would be hard to do cross-function outside of the team with those same kind of

um, habits, which involve, um, like helping the AI have a, uh, record its learning, right?

So it's the, for every, it's the compound stage where like, okay, so what did you learn about, um, this process that we just engaged in a two hour coding session or whatever it is

um and then writing that back to a file so it's it's interesting in terms of cross um what is it cross cross function is that what you said cross function across right so then are you assuming that you are moving across functions that aren't going to be really ai uh ai infused or ai native

Well, and yes, and they're just in their seed round.
