I used to get flamed on Twitter for saying there are 10x engineers, because it flies in the face of so much equality philosophy that everyone's equal. But the reality is—when you're in the creative fields, the intellectual and virtual and digital fields, the gap is not 10x—it's 100x or 1000x, and that's always been the case.

It's taste and judgment, right? That said—you can ask the models 'which one should I use and why,' and they know everything. They'll give you a really good trade-off matrix.

Humans are becoming verifiers. That's how we train these models—with good verification data—and now we need human verifiers. A lot of the old functions of humans—lawyers, engineers, ops people—are shifting towards verifying the whole stack.

Creativity is the thing that surprises you—you step out of the system and do something that wasn't even imaginable within the system. It's outside the training data, outside the distribution of what's been fed into the system. There will always be room for that.

The training sets are so large it's hard to imagine ideas that aren't in them somewhere. But if they exist, they probably lie in the natural domain—physics, interaction, sensation, emotion, evolution—the things that language is not subject to.

Humans will have an enormous amount of value—more value. Everyone here, our productivity has gone through the roof. Basic economics says that when productivity is higher, you're richer, and you hire more people, not fewer.

The single best thing you can do for yourself is get really good with these tools, and always know the edges of what they can and can't do. And that's a moving target.

I've never taken a class on sales. I've never tried to be good at sales. I don't even know what sales is. But I think what I'm doing is selling the truth. If you can sell the truth, you don't need to sell anything else.

AI cuts right through that. It's a bicycle for the mind, accelerated. So it's people with AI versus people without AI.

There's never been a better time to be alive as a creator of software. Now, are the same market opportunities still there? That's a big question.

It's very addictive—because like in a video game, the way a video game is designed is that it keeps you hooked by giving you feedback and rewards at short intervals. Vibe coding is exactly like that.

The thing I'm now thinking through is—is pure software dead? Is pure software engineering an obsolete thing? It's like saying speaking English. The model speaks English. Why are you?
