678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

That's what's running Salesforce right now.

And into that fray, you throw one more tool, which is this, you know, LLMs that can help you out with your coding process or whatever.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And honestly, I don't think it changes the nature of the product.

It is still a stapled together.

So for the size of Manhattan, it's just that people aren't manually putting the staples in anymore.

And who knows, maybe if this stuff continues to advance, we'll be able to shape that down to something that looks closer to that hand-assembled piece of furniture.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

We have some questions about that in a future episode, so we will talk about that.

Accidental Tech Podcast

I know people have sent in a lot of stuff on that.

Casey just did it with his N8N thing.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

It was not worth doing if he had to write all that code himself.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

But now that he has a tool that can help him, suddenly it becomes worth doing.

Accidental Tech Podcast
