This is something that Kieran in particular really noticed and was like, I'm doing this.

And I was like, that's sick.

And I think has become, even if it's not called compound engineering, has become a standard way that a lot of the model companies think about building engineering harnesses and doing programming.

So it's pretty cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Totally.

Um, and yeah, different people like using, even if it's not a specific skill, it's just like, remember this for next time you're effectively compounding.

It's the same kind of idea, just on a bigger scale.

Like definitely a lot of people, a lot of non-technical people in cowork, for example, use it all the time and love it.

And that's awesome.

There's something about the models right now, which I think will probably always be the case where if you just get them to think more or like use more tokens on your problem and do more research and spend more time on it, you just get better results.

And I think compound engineering, the plug in is a hack for that where

all the things that the model comes back with, you're like, I don't know if this is like, totally right, or like, it should have done a little bit more research here.

It's just really good at getting the models to do the maximum possible amount of work.

So for important stuff, or stuff that requires a lot of thinking, it's a really good workflow to use.

That's really interesting.

Wait.

So what are you, when you write with it, what's your workflow?

And you like that better than using 5.4 in ChatGPT?

That's interesting.
