The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch · 20VC: Mercor CPO on Revenue Concentration from Frontier Labs | Why Large Enterprise is Scared to Partner with Frontier Labs | Why Small Specialised Models is the Future with Osvald Nitski · 25 Jul 2026 podcast

It's also a bit easier to not have too many tools, not manage too many licenses, and because Cloud is making all these other great features, people just gravitate towards it, and then it's a bit less friction to have the procurement team issue licenses for Figma for every single person.

I have a bit of a hot take here.

I think it's the future for the short term as the knowledge of how to use AI gets disseminated throughout industry.

We have basically a concentration of a bunch of people in San Francisco who really know how to deploy agents, eval agents, be AI first in engineering and in other areas.

That knowledge just isn't out there yet.

And eventually it will be, and maybe you won't need, at that point, teams to go and set things up, set up AI agents for every enterprise, and it'll become more of like a job function, similar to software engineering.

I think that it's a knowledge dissemination problem.

So I think that that's one way to look at it.

The other way is why not hire someone to just do this agent deployment at your own company?

And I just don't think the skill is out there yet.

I don't think the talent is available for every enterprise to have their own expertise in it at this point in time.

But that'll change over the long run.

This is, I think, maybe a decade-long change.

Do good engineers really want to be FDEs though?

There are a lot of different types of good engineers.

There's a lot of things, a lot of ways to be a good engineer.

And one way to be a good engineer is being a great communicator and cutting through to the source of a problem and simplifying.

And I think that those engineers are great fits for FDEs.

And I think that those engineers are also great fits to eventually become founders.

And I think that that is a different profile of person who's incredibly valuable.
