Odd Lots · The Creator of Claude Code on The Hottest Piece of Software in the World · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

So sometime in the 60s, people realized, OK, I think we can write code and it doesn't have to be like paper or hardware, like we can probably put it in software.

And then at some point people realized, oh, wait, I think we can go beyond this.

We can take the entire operating system.

The operating system doesn't have to be chips.

It can be software also.

And that was a realization.

That was like the Apple II and kind of that generation of computers in the early 70s that started that.

And for the last 50 years, the operating system, the kernel software that we run, it's all in software.

It's not really in hardware.

And so what changed when we released Quad Code is developers stopped writing the software directly the way that they've been doing the last 50 years.

And they started talking to the model and the model writes the software.

And now we're actually going up one more level.

And now we have loops and routines and quad tag.

And what's happening with these is we just went at one more level.

So you talk to the model, the model talks to other models.

Those models write the source code.

And this is crazy because we've been stuck in this one place for 50 years and we just had two leaps in two years.

And that's what's happened.

And so when I look at my work,

I used to have this like deep focus mode and, you know, I would spend days or weeks on writing one piece of software.
