Revisiting this episode was a lot of fun, and getting the chance to record these types of conversations is a huge part of the reason why I continue doing this podcast. This was the second episode I recorded after a long, hot day of dachshund field trials, and instead of sitting down with these two friends separately, I decided to go ahead and have a group discussion and just go wherever it led us! We ended up talking about Rick and Rich's victories that weekend, Rick's ADHD attempt to convince Rich to start cast flying Harris's hawks on squirrels, what led Rich to start making equipment and get his own falconry business going, and other things our overheated, whiskey influenced brains decided to talk about!

Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin—the world's first autonomous AI software engineer. Unlike other AI coding tools, Devin works like an autonomous engineer that you can interact with through Slack, Linear, and GitHub, just like with a remote engineer. With Scott's background in competitive programming and a previous AI-powered startup, Lunchclub, teaching AI to code has become his ultimate passion.What you'll learn:1. How a team of “Devins” are already producing 25% of Cognition's pull requests, and they are on track to hit 50% by year's end2. How each engineer on Cognition's 15-person engineering team works with about five Devins each3. How Devin has evolved from a “high school CS student” to a “junior engineer” over the past year4. Why engineering will shift from “bricklayers” to “architects”5. Why AI tools will lead to more engineering jobs rather than fewer6. How Devin creates its own wiki to understand and document complex codebases7. The eight pivots Cognition went through before landing on their current approach8.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats shared his thoughts on the Steelers' selection of Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. Moats and "Bleav in Steelers" host Mark Bergin discussed Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' slide to the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Bergin explained why he thinks the Browns could trade Dillon Gabriel or Kenny Pickett. Bergin does not believe the Steelers are trade partners for the Browns. Meanwhile, free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers could still sign with the Steelers. The guys also discussed other Steelers' draft selections, including first-round pick Derrick Harmon out of Oregon, Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson, Iowa defensive tackle Yahya Black and Washington linebacker Carson Bruener.

A week after OpenAI's o3/o4-mini volleyed with Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash, I sat down with Arvind Jain— ex-Google search luminary, Rubrik co-founder, and now CEO of Glean —just as his company released its agentic reasoning platform and swirled with rumors of a new round at a $7 billion valuation. We open on that whirlwind: why the model race is accelerating, why enterprises still gravitate to closed models, and when open-source variants finally take over. Arvind argues that LLMs should “fade into the background,” leaving application builders to pick the right engine for each task.From there, we trace Glean's three-act arc—enterprise search powered by transformers (2019), retrieval-augmented chat the moment ChatGPT hit, and now agents that have already logged 50 million real actions inside Glean enterprise customers. Arvind lifts the hood on permission-aware ranking, tool-use orchestration, and the routing layer that swaps Gemini for GPT on the fly. Along the way, he answers the hard questions: Do agents really double efficiency? Where's the moat when every startup promises the same? Why are humans still in the review loop, and for how long?The conversation crescendos with a vision of work where every employee is flanked by a team of proactive AI coworkers—all drawing from a horizontal knowledge layer that knows the firm's language better than any newcomer. If you want to know what's actually working with AI in the enterprise, how to build agents that deliver ROI, and what the next era of work will look like, this episode is packed with specifics, technical insights, and bold predictions from one of the sharpest minds in the space.GleanWebsite - https://www.glean.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/gleanaiArvind Jain LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jain-arvindX/Twitter - https://x.com/jainarvindFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro & Glean's $7B valuation rumor (02:01) The AI model explosion: open vs. closed in the enterprise (06:19) Why enterprises choose open source AI (and when) (10:33) The agent era: what are AI agents and why now?

Canadians have been the lifeblood behind some of the biggest unicorn startups of the past few years (think Open AI, Uber, Slack, Instacart, Notion, Databricks, CloudFlare, Roblox, Ethereum, Moderna Health, and Clay to name a few), and yet no one talks about them, except for Andre Charoo. And he's not just talking – he's putting his money behind Canadian founders through his fund, Maple VC. Andre shares why he thinks Canadian founders are always a strong bet (and bonus points if they're immigrants, too), what it's like to wait over 7 years to see a pre-seed investment materialize (in this case, recent unicorn Clay), and how he thinks about moats in the AI age (and why they still matter).Maple VC writes $500k – $1.5 million industry-agnostic checks into pre-seed and seed stage companies with roots from Canada to Korea to Harvard. HighlightsEven long after he left Uber and Hired, Andre never lost his go-to-market spirit and he's carried it with him as he's moved from operator to VC. Andre's investing framework can best be described as Canadian roots with global reach. He's been working hard to give Canadian founders their due and show their world that they are some of the most ambitious people out there. Clay, a unicorn in the Maple VC portfolio, is a testament to persistence and patience. Andre urges investors to remember they're playing the long game – waiting for results that may not materialize for nearly a decade. It's all about building durable companies, and the 7 Powers by Hamilton Helmer still holds true. Andre stresses that defensibility and success come from strategic insight, execution, and taste—not just code.While AI is changing the way companies form and scale, Andre still believes in this undefeated combo for founders: inventors, builders, and operators.(00:00) - Andre Charoo, Maple VC - Before Clay Was a Unicorn: The First Check, the Thesis, and the Long Game (01:40) - Andre's journey from operator to investor (06:56) - Why Andre will always bet on Candian expats (22:46) - Andre's check size and how he manages Maple VC (33:38) - The 7-year story of the unicorn, Clay (42:14) - Where Andre thinks AI stands and where it might be going (49:17) - Moats still matter in the AI era (01:03:02) - Andre's take on the inventor-builder-operator trifecta
