Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

The thing that I want to do is build the world's best thing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Because if you do it right and it lifts the industry, it doesn't matter if it takes an extra two months.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Like two months is worth waiting.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so doing it right and not being overwhelmed with technical debt and things like this is like, again, war wounds, lessons learned, whatever you want to say, I think is absolutely the right thing to do.

#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Even though right now people are very frustrated that, you know, you can't download it or it doesn't have feature X or something like this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, so, I mean, I've been very pleased.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, in fact, I mean, we've, we've been massively overwhelmed with response, which is a good problem to have.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It's kind of like a success disaster in a sense.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And yeah,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

If you go back in time, when we started Modular, which was just not yet a year and a half ago, so it's still a pretty new company, new team, small but very good team of people.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

We started with extreme conviction that there's a set of problems that we need to solve, and if we solve it, then people will be interested in what we're doing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But again, you're building in basically secret information.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

You're trying to figure it out.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Creation's a messy process.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

You're having to go through different paths and understand what you wanna do and how to explain it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Often when you're doing disruptive and new kinds of things, just knowing how to explain it is super difficult.
