Vibecoding.

Vive coding is this really unproductive thing to discuss because everyone has a different definition of it.

And too often it's having the agent write code with sh with poor feedback loops and poor quality control.

And I don't think that that's valuable.

But it's giving that person the ability to build something truly great really fast when they're so incentivized and they will have every desire for it to work well.

Yeah.

Thurston is incredible and AMP would not exist in any way without him.

He has strong internal constitution of how he uses it and what's real and what's not.

And it's so easy to get carried away with the hype, the possibilities, especially when you see other people, a lot of other smart people who are getting carried away by it.

Thurston has this incredible ability to stay grounded.

And that, with everything changing so fast.

With it being such a hype cycle right now.

That's really important.

Also, just these first principles thinking, like how we've completely rethought how we build everything in AMP based on how should we actually do it rather than what has come before.

Thorson is the rare person who's been at bigger companies, who's seen how SourceGraph, how we build enterprise software in, you know, not the Google way, but in a different way, and has taken

Take in the parts of it that work and not uh the parts that don't.

So all of that combined with someone who's an incredible engineer, incredible writer, communicator, that's a really powerful combination.

So find those people.

And then what I said when he rejoined is he is the dictator.

That made him feel really uncomfortable, as you can see.
