The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about the way that people are prompting generative AI tools like ChatGPT. I saw my friend Rebecca the other day was posting about how she had asked ChatGPT about a bunch of nutritional supplements she was taking and some advice for them. And I immediately went, oh, stop. We have three areas where we do not just ask generative AI for information because of the way the model is trained. Those areas are finance, law and health. In those areas, they’re high risk areas. If you’re asking ChatGPT for advice without providing good data, the answers are really suspect. Katie, you also had some thoughts about how you’re seeing people using ChatGPT on LinkedIn. Katie Robbert – 00:55 Well, I was saying this morning that it’s hard to go on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is where we’re all trying to connect with each other professionally, be thought leaders, share our experience. But it’s so hard for me personally, and this is my own opinion because every time I open LinkedIn the first thing I see is a post that says, “Today I asked ChatGPT.” Every post starts with, “So I was talking with ChatGPT.” “ChatGPT was telling me this morning.” And the codependency that I’m seeing being built with these tools is alarming to me and I’m oversimplifying it, but I don’t see these tools as any better than when you were just doing an Internet search. What I mean by that is the quality of the data is not necessarily better. Katie Robbert – 01:49 They can do more bells and whistles, they have more functions, they can summarize things, they can do backflips and create images and whatever. But the data is not different. You’re not getting better quality data. If anything, you’re probably getting more junk because you’re not asking specific questions like you would to a search engine. Because if you don’t ask a specific question to a search engine, you get junk back. So it forces you to be more detailed. With these generative AI being used as a quasi search, you don’t have to be specific. You’re still going to get a very long detailed answer back that’s going to look legit. And what I’m seeing, the thing that I’m concerned about is people are—the first thing they’re doing in the morning is they’re opening ChatGPT. Katie Robbert – 02:45 And this is not a knock at ChatGPT or OpenAI. This is just, I’m seeing it as the common name thrown around. People are opening a generative AI instance and having a conversation with it first thing in the morning. And I’m alarmed by that because the codependency means we’re not doing our research, we’re not having original thought, and we’re overly reliant on the software to do the work for us. Christopher S. Penn – 03:14 And that’s very much human nature, or just nature in general. Nature always prefers the path of least resistance, even if it’s not correct, it’s easier. And in the macro environment that we’re in, in 2025, where truth kind of takes a backseat to vibes, as it were, that behavior makes total sense. In fact, there was a paper that came out not too long ago that said that the number one use case—finance, health and law—the number one use case of ChatGPT outside of the marketing world and business world is people using it as a therapist. You can. If it’s properly primed and prompted and with therapeutic supervision from a real human therapist, yes, you can. Christopher S. Penn – 04:03 I guarantee no one using it like that is doing any of those things. Katie Robbert – 04:06 No, you can’t. Because of that second part of the statement. The people who are likely using these tools as a therapist aren’t building them in such a way that it is a qualified proxy for a human therapist. Now, humans make mistakes. Humans are flawed, and so that’s not to say that going to a human therapist is going to solve your problem. It’s a complicated question, but a human therapist is going to do a better job of knowing what is in scope and out of scope in terms of the context of the conversation. And so, if, let’s say, Chris, one morning I think I need a therapy session. Katie Robbert – 04:57 I’m going to turn to the nearest generative AI tool and say, hey, I’m kind of feeling down today. What can I do to get out of this funk? It’s going to start giving me advice and it’s going to start telling me things that I should do. And if I don’t know any better, I’m just going to start blindly following this advice, which could actually be detrimental to my health, to my mental health, and possibly my physical health. Because what happens if I say something like, I’ve been having very tense conversations with someone in my life and I don’t know how to approach it? This generative AI system isn’t going to say, hey, are you in danger? Do you need some sort of intervention from law enforcement or medical intervention? Katie Robbert – 05:46 It’s just going to say, here are some tips on navigating a difficult conversation with someone and I’m going to blindly follow it and try to navigate my way through a very tense situation with no supervision, which could have life threatening results. That’s more of an extreme, but people actually look for that information on the Internet, how to get out of a bad situation. What can I do that in a non violent way to work with someone, whatever the thing is. And now granted, we have the luxury of mostly staying in the B2B marketing realm or sort of in the verticals and operations and business, but it would be irresponsible of us not to acknowledge that there is a world outside of the business that we’re in. Christopher S. Penn – 06:41 When we think about people’s codependency on AI and the way that they’re approaching it relatively naively and accepting what AI gives them because they’re overwhelmed in every other part of their lives and they’re thinking, finally, an answer tool! Just give me the answer. I don’t even care if the answer is right. I just want the answer so that I don’t have one more thing on my to do list to do. How do you help people navigate that, Katie? How do you help people be thoughtful in its use and accept that it is not the Wizard of Oz? You do have to pull back the curtain, look behind the curtain. Katie Robbert – 07:19 I’m not going to be able to give you a blanket answer to that question because a lot of it involves trust between humans. And so if you’re asking me how I would help someone, first of all, they have to trust me enough to let me help. Not everyone knows what kind of things they’re overwhelmed by. I am someone who happens to be self aware to a fault. So I know the things that I’m overwhelmed by. But that doesn’t mean that I can necessarily get out of my own way. Katie Robbert – 07:54 And it doesn’t mean that if an easy solution to a problem is presented to me, I’m not going to take it. So if I’m overwhelmed one day and a generative AI system says, hey, I can answer 3 of those 7 questions for you. That actually sounds really appealing. My emotional brain has taken over. My logical brain isn’t going to be, Katie, maybe you should check the answers on those. My emotional brain is, yes, let’s just get those things done. I don’t care. I will deal with the consequences later. So it’s a complicated question, and I can’t give you an answer other than we have to keep trying our best as humans to be present in the moment when you’re using these tools. Katie Robbert – 08:40 And I know this, and I promise this was not me segueing into an opportunity to bring this up. But there’s a reason that the five P’s exist. And let me explain. The five P’s are meant to—if you’re overwhelmed and you’re thinking, let me just turn to generative AI to get the answer, let’s just stop. Think of the five P’s in that instance, almost like a breathing exercise to get your wits about you. And so it’s, okay, what is my purpose? What is the problem I think I’m trying to solve? And you don’t have to have all the answers to these questions, but it gives you an opportunity to slow down and think through what am I about to look for? So let’s say in this instance, let’s just use this example that we’ve been talking about. Katie Robbert – 09:25 Let’s say I’m looking to have a therapy session. I just really need to talk to someone. Okay. I’m having a rough day. I’m feeling kind of overwhelmed. So I want to get some thoughts out of my system. That’s my purpose. The people is me. And then maybe there’s some other people in my life that have been causing this anxiety, but maybe I don’t feel like I have someone to talk to. So I’m going to use a generative AI system as a stand-in. My process—well, that’s a really good question. Do I just say, hey, I need some therapy today, or, hey, I want to talk? Whatever it is, maybe that’s my process. The platform is whatever generative AI system I have handy. And then the performance is, do I feel better? Katie Robbert – 10:12 Was I able to get to some resolution? Now that sounds, oh, okay, well, they’re going to do it anyway. But just like a breathing exercise, the goal of using the 5Ps is to calm your mind a little bit, put your thoughts together, sit back and go, is this a good idea? Should I be doing this? And so in business, in your life, this is why I always say the five P’s are there for any situation. And it doesn’t have to be in depth. It’s really there to help you organize your thoughts. Christopher S. Penn – 10:49 One of the reasons why this is so problematic from a technical perspective is what’s called latent space knowledge. This is the training data that models have been trained on. And in the case of today’s models, for example, Alibaba’s new Qwen model came out last week. That’s trained on 32 trillion tokens. To give you a sense of how large that is, that is a bookshelf of text—only books—that goes around the planet 4 times. That is a massive amount of text. A lot of that text is not date stamped. A lot of it is not time stamped. A lot of it can be anywhere from today to texts from the 5th century. Which means that if you’re asking it a question about mental health or SEO or anything, the models are based on probability. Probability is based on volume. Christopher S. Penn – 11:36 There is a lot more old knowledge than new knowledge, which means that you can be invoking knowledge that’s out of date. For example, ask any generative AI tool about SEO and you will hear about expertise, authority and trust—E-A-T, which Google talked about for 10 years. They revised that two years ago, three years ago now to expertise, experience, authority and trust. And if you don’t know that, then you don’t recognize that in that situation a service like ChatGPT is spitting out old information. Now, it’s not substantially wrong in that case, but without that scoping on it, you are pulling out old information. When you get to things like health and law and finance, there’s a lot of medical information out there. We have medical papers dating back over a century. A lot of them are invalid. A lot of that. Christopher S. Penn – 12:29 We’ve only, for example, started doing research on things like women’s health in the last 10 years. Women were absent for the first 5 centuries of recorded medical knowledge. And yet that’s what most of the corpus of work is. So if you’re asking a tool for information about depression, for example, you’re drawing on a corpus that is so generalized, is not specific to your gender, to your race, to your circumstances, that you could be getting really bad advice. Katie Robbert – 13:02 And this is where I think people get stuck, Chris, is if generative AI in terms of data sources is no better than an Internet search, what are we supposed to do? How do we get to better answers without becoming a Chris Penn data scientist? How do I as an everyday person use generative AI better, more thoughtfully? Christopher S. Penn – 13:34 One of the things that I think is really important is what I have termed the Casino Deep Research framework. And yes, it’s yet another framework because I love frameworks. You can pick up a copy of this for free—no forms to fill out—at TrustInsights.ai/casino. And yes, this is essentially a mutated version of the 5Ps that omits platform because it presumes that generative AI is in there and it breaks out process more granularly. This doesn’t work just for deep research. This works for pretty much all problems, but this is specifically for deep research because you only get so many credits per month and you don’t want to give it a bad prompt and then think, I only have 9 uses of my deep research tool left. So context—tell the tool what you’re doing. Christopher S. Penn – 14:18 Audience—who’s using the research? Sometimes it’s you, sometimes it’s somebody else. The big one for anything like health, finance and law is scoping. What limitations do you need to put on the generative AI tool? What sources are allowed? What sources are not allowed? So for example, with my friend who was asking about supplements, I said you had better restrict your sources to anything that has a DOI number. A DOI number is a document object indicator. This is a number that is assigned to a paper after it has been peer reviewed. Sources without DOI numbers like random articles and self-posts or shit posts on Reddit are not going to have nearly as high quality information. What is the time frame? Christopher S. Penn – 15:03 So again, if, in the case of my friend asking about nutritional supplements for women’s health, we only have 10 years worth of data on that realistically. So their scoping should say don’t use any sources from before 2015. They’re probably not any good. What geographies? And then of course, why are we doing the report? What are the second and third order downstream effects that the research report might have? And of course narrator and output. But the big one for me is the scoping, and this is true again of all generative AI inquiries. What is the scope? What are the restrictions that you need to put on AI? We always talk about how it’s the world’s smartest, most forgetful intern. It’s got a PhD and everything, but it’s still an intern. Christopher S. Penn – 15:50 You would never say to an intern, just go write me an SEO strategy—that’s gonna go so badly. You absolutely would, if you’re a good manager, good at delegating, saying, this is what SEO means to us, this is how we do it. These are the sources that we use, this is the data that we use, these are the tools that we use and these are our competitors. Now, intern, go build us an SEO strategy because once you’ve given the intern all the stuff, they’re going to do a much better job with any of this stuff, but particularly the high risk areas. In a lot of cases, you’ve got to even provide the source data itself. Katie Robbert – 16:27 And this is the problem because people looking for the information are not the experts. They don’t know what a DOI number is or that the data—anything older than a certain date is invalid. And so that’s where I think we still don’t have a good resolution because you’re saying we need to understand the scope you need to provide those restrictions. Someone looking for the information, that’s what they’re trying to understand. So they don’t know what those scope restrictions should be. What, how does, again, someone who isn’t well versed in whatever area they’re trying to understand, how do they get to that information? How do they get to a point where what they’re looking for is something that they can feel good about the responses? Christopher S. Penn – 17:29 The simplest strategy that I can think of would be to say, hey, AI, here’s the thing I want to do today before we race ahead. I want you to ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to complete the task in a way that is thorough and accurate and truthful. So that attached to the bottom of any prompt is going to force you, the human and the machine to go back and forth and fill out conversational details. I say, hey, I want to know more about what supplements should I be taking? Ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to fulfill this task completely and accurately. And it will come back and say, well, who are you? Christopher S. Penn – 18:15 Are you a 23-year-old Korean man or are you a 50-year-old Korean man? What pre-existing health conditions might you have—a reminder, Generative AI does not provide medical advice. What things are you taking right now that could have interactions? And that’s a prompt that we get from coding, from the coding world. The coding world is—when I’m building a requirements document, ask me one question at a time until we have enough requirements for a PRD. And that one sentence will immediately make everything better and will stop AI from immediately trying to be as helpful as possible and forcing it to be more truthful. Katie Robbert – 18:56 And it’s interesting that we have to separate helpful from truthful. And that’s so hard because when you’re getting the responses back from generative AI, it’s not like it’s showing you emotion. So it’s not like you can read into facial expressions or the way that the words are delivered. It’s all very flat. And so you, the human, are interpreting it and reading it in whatever voice you read things in your own brain. And you’re going, okay, well this is a machine, so it must be truthful/helpful. But the two aren’t always—sometimes they’re true at the same time, sometimes they’re not. Christopher S. Penn – 19:45 And AI model makers have those three pillars. Harmless—don’t do any harm, that will get us sued. Helpful, and then truthful is always a distant third because the nature of the technology itself doesn’t include truthfulness. Christopher S. Penn – 20:00 No model—they try to train it to be accurate. But the nature of the model itself, the underlying architecture is that it will never be 100% truthful. It does not know that it is not an encyclopedia, it is a probability machine. And so harmless and helpful are the two priorities that get boosted to the front and not necessarily truthful. And this is a reflection of its training data. It’s a reflection of the architecture. That’s a reflection of our culture when you think about it. People love to talk, for example, about big pharma. How big pharma is this 2 trillion dollar industry? Well, the wellness industry full of snake oil is an 8 trillion dollar industry. They are helpful, but not truthful. Katie Robbert – 20:43 There was, I don’t even remember. Somehow I think, because my bio is a woman of a certain age, the amount of crap that I am pitched on social media, that’s going to change my life and change my body and all I have to do is drink this thing and take this pill. And none of it is FDA approved even if that’s valid anymore. We don’t know. And so at one point in our lives, having the FDA approved stamp meant something—I don’t know that means anything anymore. But even just thinking that it could have gone through the FDA was a comfort, but now there’s the amount of things that you could be taking and you could be filling your body with and doing this and doing that. Katie Robbert – 21:36 It’s ridiculous. And the only one who can make this decision, whether or not it is helpful or truthful or both is you, the human. Christopher S. Penn – 21:45 And this goes back to what you were talking about earlier, Katie. Helpful creates an emotional response in us. I feel better. Truthful creates a different emotional response, which is usually okay. That’s the truth. I don’t know that I like it. And so when people are codependent on generative AI, when people are blindly trusting AI, it’s because of that thing—helpful. Someone is helping me. And in a world where it feels like people talk about the loneliness epidemic when no one else is helping you, a machine that is helpful, even if it’s completely wrong, is still better than being without help. Katie Robbert – 22:28 And so, what we’re seeing is we’re seeing this play out again. Our ecosystem is very much constrained to our peers and other B2B marketers and other people in business and operations. And so those are the kinds of posts that we’re seeing on social media like LinkedIn, starting with, ‘Today I asked ChatGPT,’ ‘I was out of ideas, so I talked to ChatGPT’ or ‘I had this thought, so I thought I’d run it past ChatGPT.’ Those are the people who are talking about it. We as marketers are wired to tell people our every move. There’s a lot of people not talking about how much they’re using these systems and what they’re using them for. And that, I think is what concerns me. Katie Robbert – 23:18 So if we can be highlighting the risks within our own industry, hopefully that will then have that trickle down effect to people outside of the industry who are using it every day and trying to get things like medical advice, legal advice, what insurance should I be using? How do I get out of this lawsuit without having to pay a lawyer, anything like that? Because if you’re just asking those basic questions, you’re going to get shitty answers. Christopher S. Penn – 23:52 At a bare minimum, use the prompt that we discussed, which is ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to give a comprehensive answer. Just prompting AI with that alone is going to help you get better answers out of these tools, because it’s going to ask you things that you forgot to include in your prompt: who you are, what the situation is, why you’re asking about it, and so on and so forth. And if you are doing something high risk—finance, law, health—please at least look at the questions in the Casino Deep Research prompt. Whether or not you use the deep research tool at all to think through, to take that breath Katie was talking about, take that breath and think through. Am I providing enough information to get a good outcome? Christopher S. Penn – 24:39 Am I providing enough context? Am I helping the tool understand what it is that I want to do? And finally, I would say one of the things that you should—and this is something that came up in my many weeks of travel, encouraging people—find a group, find a peer group of some kind where you can talk to other real human beings in addition to machines to say, hey, I have this idea. For example, in our Analytics for Marketers Slack group, we have people now asking all the time, here’s this prompt I was trying to run. Here’s the thing I’m trying to do. Is this the right way to do it? And a lot of people jump in to help and say, here’s the prompt that I use, or here’s a way to think about this. Christopher S. Penn – 25:19 Or that’s not a task that you should let AI do. Finding real human beings (a) addresses the loneliness thing and (b) gives you a second set of brains on the AI thing you’re trying to do. So I really encourage people to join AI communities, join Analytics for Marketers. It’s completely free to join. Katie Robbert – 25:40 I agree with all that. Christopher S. Penn – 25:44 If you have comments or questions or things about codependency on generative AI and how people are using it, and you want to share your experiences, come on over at Analytics for Marketers Slack group—over 4,000 marketers asking and answering each other’s questions every single day about analytics, data, science and AI.

Substack Week: AI in Product Management, Enhancing Product Development Through Artificial Intelligence with Toni Dos Santos In this Substack Week episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is transforming product management with Toni Dos Santos, co-author of The Product Courier newsletter. From automating routine tasks to enhancing strategic decision-making, Toni shares practical insights on leveraging AI to build better products faster and more efficiently. From Music to Banking to AI Product Management "I wanted to work in that area to find ways to put innovation to service to the consumers, and making it as invisible as possible." Toni's journey into AI and product management began in an unexpected place - the music industry. After working as a music producer, his interest in innovation led him to banking, where he discovered the untapped potential of data analytics. His experience working with machine learning and deep learning in banking laid the foundation for his current work with generative AI in product management. The launch of ChatGPT in 2022 sparked his deep dive into applying AI to product management challenges. Revolutionizing User Story Creation with AI "User stories are a big pain for many product managers, particularly junior ones... The idea is that you provide the AI with a PRD or description of the product, and it's going to write user stories based on best practices." Toni explains how AI can transform the process of writing user stories by automating the initial drafting while preserving the essential collaborative aspects. He emphasizes that while AI can handle the mechanics of writing, the real value comes from using it as a springboard for deeper discussions with the team. The technology can suggest edge cases, highlight potential gaps, and provide a structured foundation for further refinement. AI as a Tool for Understanding User Needs "Use all the transcripts, the feedback from user interviews that I have, feed it to AI and retrieve from it the key pain points, the major patterns that it identifies." Rather than replacing human insight, AI serves as a powerful tool for analyzing user feedback and identifying patterns. Toni shares practical examples of using AI to: Process and analyze app store reviews at scale Identify clusters of users with similar pain points Extract key themes from user interviews Validate qualitative findings with quantitative data Strategic Role of AI in Leadership "For product leaders, they should be the ones thinking how AI will affect their work because to define a strategy, to define a roadmap, AI can summarize tons of data, tons of information that you cannot do yourself." Toni challenges the notion that AI primarily impacts lower-level tasks. He argues that AI's ability to process vast amounts of information makes it particularly valuable for leadership roles. Leaders can use AI to: Prepare more effective meetings with relevant agendas Create alignment across different departments Practice important presentations and interviews Generate and evaluate strategic options Best Practices for Getting Started with AI "The best resource is to go into it... get ChatGPT, Gemini, whatever, and just dive into it and try and get learning and start practicing right away." For product managers looking to incorporate AI into their workflow, Toni emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience. He recommends: Starting with practical experimentation rather than just theoretical learning Understanding AI's limitations (20% error rate) and always double-checking outputs Treating AI interactions as conversations rather than one-off prompts Focusing on areas where AI can augment rather than replace human judgment Resources For Further Study BOOK: Bret King, Bank 3.0: Why Banking Is No Longer Somewhere You Go But Something You Do Toni's Product Courier Newsletter The AI focused episode with Marshall Goldsmith AI Course by IBM: Armin Ries, free AI course by IBM [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast — CodeGen, Agents, Computer Vision, Data Science, AI UX and all things Software 3.0

If you're in SF, join us tomorrow for a fun meetup at CodeGen Night!If you're in NYC, join us for AI Engineer Summit! The Agent Engineering track is now sold out, but 25 tickets remain for AI Leadership and 5 tickets for the workshops. You can see the full schedule of speakers and workshops at https://ai.engineer!It's exceedingly hard to introduce someone like Bret Taylor. We could recite his Wikipedia page, or his extensive work history through Silicon Valley's greatest companies, but everyone else already does that.As a podcast by AI engineers for AI engineers, we had the opportunity to do something a little different. We wanted to dig into what Bret sees from his vantage point at the top of our industry for the last 2 decades, and how that explains the rise of the AI Architect at Sierra, the leading conversational AI/CX platform.“Across our customer base, we are seeing a new role emerge - the role of the AI architect. These leaders are responsible for helping define, manage and evolve their company's AI agent over time. They come from a variety of both technical and business backgrounds, and we think that every company will have one or many AI architects managing their AI agent and related experience.”In our conversation, Bret Taylor confirms the Paul Buchheit legend that he rewrote Google Maps in a weekend, armed with only the help of a then-nascent Google Closure Compiler and no other modern tooling. But what we find remarkable is that he was the PM of Maps, not an engineer, though of course he still identifies as one. We find this theme recurring throughout Bret's career and worldview. We think it is plain as day that AI leadership will have to be hands-on and technical, especially when the ground is shifting as quickly as it is today:“There's a lot of power in combining product and engineering into as few people as possible… few great things have been created by committee.”“If engineering is an order taking organization for product you can sometimes make meaningful things, but rarely will you create extremely well crafted breakthrough products. Those tend to be small teams who deeply understand the customer need that they're solving, who have a maniacal focus on outcomes.”“And I think the reason why is if you look at like software as a service five years ago, maybe you can have a separation of product and engineering because most software as a service created five years ago. I wouldn't say there's like a lot of technological breakthroughs required for most business applications. And if you're making expense reporting software or whatever, it's useful… You kind of know how databases work, how to build auto scaling with your AWS cluster, whatever, you know, it's just, you're just applying best practices to yet another problem. "When you have areas like the early days of mobile development or the early days of interactive web applications, which I think Google Maps and Gmail represent, or now AI agents, you're in this constant conversation with what the requirements of your customers and stakeholders are and all the different people interacting with it and the capabilities of the technology. And it's almost impossible to specify the requirements of a product when you're not sure of the limitations of the technology itself.”This is the first time the difference between technical leadership for “normal” software and for “AI” software was articulated this clearly for us, and we'll be thinking a lot about this going forward. We left a lot of nuggets in the conversation, so we hope you'll just dive in with us (and thank Bret for joining the pod!)Timestamps* 00:00:02 Introductions and Bret Taylor's background* 00:01:23 Bret's experience at Stanford and the dot-com era* 00:04:04 The story of rewriting Google Maps backend* 00:11:06 Early days of interactive web applications at Google* 00:15:26 Discussion on product management and engineering roles* 00:21:00 AI and the future of software development* 00:26:42 Bret's approach to identifying customer needs and building AI companies* 00:32:09 The evolution of business models in the AI era* 00:41:00 The future of programming languages and software development* 00:49:38 Challenges in precisely communicating human intent to machines* 00:56:44 Discussion on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its impact* 01:08:51 The future of agent-to-agent communication* 01:14:03 Bret's involvement in the OpenAI leadership crisis* 01:22:11 OpenAI's relationship with Microsoft* 01:23:23 OpenAI's mission and priorities* 01:27:40 Bret's guiding principles for career choices* 01:29:12 Brief discussion on pasta-making* 01:30:47 How Bret keeps up with AI developments* 01:32:15 Exciting research directions in AI* 01:35:19 Closing remarks and hiring at Sierra Transcript[00:02:05] Introduction and Guest Welcome[00:02:05] Alessio: Hey everyone, welcome to the Latent Space Podcast. This is Alessio, partner and CTO at Decibel Partners, and I'm joined by my co host swyx, founder of smol.ai.[00:02:17] swyx: Hey, and today we're super excited to have Bret Taylor join us. Welcome. Thanks for having me. It's a little unreal to have you in the studio.[00:02:25] swyx: I've read about you so much over the years, like even before. Open AI effectively. I mean, I use Google Maps to get here. So like, thank you for everything that you've done. Like, like your story history, like, you know, I think people can find out what your greatest hits have been.[00:02:40] Bret Taylor's Early Career and Education[00:02:40] swyx: How do you usually like to introduce yourself when, you know, you talk about, you summarize your career, like, how do you look at yourself?[00:02:47] Bret: Yeah, it's a great question. You know, we, before we went on the mics here, we're talking about the audience for this podcast being more engineering. And I do think depending on the audience, I'll introduce myself differently because I've had a lot of [00:03:00] corporate and board roles. I probably self identify as an engineer more than anything else though.[00:03:04] Bret: So even when I was. Salesforce, I was coding on the weekends. So I think of myself as an engineer and then all the roles that I do in my career sort of start with that just because I do feel like engineering is sort of a mindset and how I approach most of my life. So I'm an engineer first and that's how I describe myself.[00:03:24] Bret: You majored in computer[00:03:25] swyx: science, like 1998. And, and I was high[00:03:28] Bret: school, actually my, my college degree was Oh, two undergrad. Oh, three masters. Right. That old.[00:03:33] swyx: Yeah. I mean, no, I was going, I was going like 1998 to 2003, but like engineering wasn't as, wasn't a thing back then. Like we didn't have the title of senior engineer, you know, kind of like, it was just.[00:03:44] swyx: You were a programmer, you were a developer, maybe. What was it like in Stanford? Like, what was that feeling like? You know, was it, were you feeling like on the cusp of a great computer revolution? Or was it just like a niche, you know, interest at the time?[00:03:57] Stanford and the Dot-Com Bubble[00:03:57] Bret: Well, I was at Stanford, as you said, from 1998 to [00:04:00] 2002.[00:04:02] Bret: 1998 was near the peak of the dot com bubble. So. This is back in the day where most people that they're coding in the computer lab, just because there was these sun microsystems, Unix boxes there that most of us had to do our assignments on. And every single day there was a. com like buying pizza for everybody.[00:04:20] Bret: I didn't have to like, I got. Free food, like my first two years of university and then the dot com bubble burst in the middle of my college career. And so by the end there was like tumbleweed going to the job fair, you know, it was like, cause it was hard to describe unless you were there at the time, the like level of hype and being a computer science major at Stanford was like, A thousand opportunities.[00:04:45] Bret: And then, and then when I left, it was like Microsoft, IBM.[00:04:49] Joining Google and Early Projects[00:04:49] Bret: And then the two startups that I applied to were VMware and Google. And I ended up going to Google in large part because a woman named Marissa Meyer, who had been a teaching [00:05:00] assistant when I was, what was called a section leader, which was like a junior teaching assistant kind of for one of the big interest.[00:05:05] Bret: Yes. Classes. She had gone there. And she was recruiting me and I knew her and it was sort of felt safe, you know, like, I don't know. I thought about it much, but it turned out to be a real blessing. I realized like, you know, you always want to think you'd pick Google if given the option, but no one knew at the time.[00:05:20] Bret: And I wonder if I'd graduated in like 1999 where I've been like, mom, I just got a job at pets. com. It's good. But you know, at the end I just didn't have any options. So I was like, do I want to go like make kernel software at VMware? Do I want to go build search at Google? And I chose Google. 50, 50 ball.[00:05:36] Bret: I'm not really a 50, 50 ball. So I feel very fortunate in retrospect that the economy collapsed because in some ways it forced me into like one of the greatest companies of all time, but I kind of lucked into it, I think.[00:05:47] The Google Maps Rewrite Story[00:05:47] Alessio: So the famous story about Google is that you rewrote the Google maps back in, in one week after the map quest quest maps acquisition, what was the story there?[00:05:57] Alessio: Is it. Actually true. Is it [00:06:00] being glorified? Like how, how did that come to be? And is there any detail that maybe Paul hasn't shared before?[00:06:06] Bret: It's largely true, but I'll give the color commentary. So it was actually the front end, not the back end, but it turns out for Google maps, the front end was sort of the hard part just because Google maps was.[00:06:17] Bret: Largely the first ish kind of really interactive web application, say first ish. I think Gmail certainly was though Gmail, probably a lot of people then who weren't engineers probably didn't appreciate its level of interactivity. It was just fast, but. Google maps, because you could drag the map and it was sort of graphical.[00:06:38] Bret: My, it really in the mainstream, I think, was it a map[00:06:41] swyx: quest back then that was, you had the arrows up and down, it[00:06:44] Bret: was up and down arrows. Each map was a single image and you just click left and then wait for a few seconds to the new map to let it was really small too, because generating a big image was kind of expensive on computers that day.[00:06:57] Bret: So Google maps was truly innovative in that [00:07:00] regard. The story on it. There was a small company called where two technologies started by two Danish brothers, Lars and Jens Rasmussen, who are two of my closest friends now. They had made a windows app called expedition, which had beautiful maps. Even in 2000.[00:07:18] Bret: For whenever we acquired or sort of acquired their company, Windows software was not particularly fashionable, but they were really passionate about mapping and we had made a local search product that was kind of middling in terms of popularity, sort of like a yellow page of search product. So we wanted to really go into mapping.[00:07:36] Bret: We'd started working on it. Their small team seemed passionate about it. So we're like, come join us. We can build this together.[00:07:42] Technical Challenges and Innovations[00:07:42] Bret: It turned out to be a great blessing that they had built a windows app because you're less technically constrained when you're doing native code than you are building a web browser, particularly back then when there weren't really interactive web apps and it ended up.[00:07:56] Bret: Changing the level of quality that we [00:08:00] wanted to hit with the app because we were shooting for something that felt like a native windows application. So it was a really good fortune that we sort of, you know, their unusual technical choices turned out to be the greatest blessing. So we spent a lot of time basically saying, how can you make a interactive draggable map in a web browser?[00:08:18] Bret: How do you progressively load, you know, new map tiles, you know, as you're dragging even things like down in the weeds of the browser at the time, most browsers like Internet Explorer, which was dominant at the time would only load two images at a time from the same domain. So we ended up making our map tile servers have like.[00:08:37] Bret: Forty different subdomains so we could load maps and parallels like lots of hacks. I'm happy to go into as much as like[00:08:44] swyx: HTTP connections and stuff.[00:08:46] Bret: They just like, there was just maximum parallelism of two. And so if you had a map, set of map tiles, like eight of them, so So we just, we were down in the weeds of the browser anyway.[00:08:56] Bret: So it was lots of plumbing. I can, I know a lot more about browsers than [00:09:00] most people, but then by the end of it, it was fairly, it was a lot of duct tape on that code. If you've ever done an engineering project where you're not really sure the path from point A to point B, it's almost like. Building a house by building one room at a time.[00:09:14] Bret: The, there's not a lot of architectural cohesion at the end. And then we acquired a company called Keyhole, which became Google earth, which was like that three, it was a native windows app as well, separate app, great app, but with that, we got licenses to all this satellite imagery. And so in August of 2005, we added.[00:09:33] Bret: Satellite imagery to Google Maps, which added even more complexity in the code base. And then we decided we wanted to support Safari. There was no mobile phones yet. So Safari was this like nascent browser on, on the Mac. And it turns out there's like a lot of decisions behind the scenes, sort of inspired by this windows app, like heavy use of XML and XSLT and all these like.[00:09:54] Bret: Technologies that were like briefly fashionable in the early two thousands and everyone hates now for good [00:10:00] reason. And it turns out that all of the XML functionality and Internet Explorer wasn't supporting Safari. So people are like re implementing like XML parsers. And it was just like this like pile of s**t.[00:10:11] Bret: And I had to say a s**t on your part. Yeah, of[00:10:12] Alessio: course.[00:10:13] Bret: So. It went from this like beautifully elegant application that everyone was proud of to something that probably had hundreds of K of JavaScript, which sounds like nothing. Now we're talking like people have modems, you know, not all modems, but it was a big deal.[00:10:29] Bret: So it was like slow. It took a while to load and just, it wasn't like a great code base. Like everything was fragile. So I just got. Super frustrated by it. And then one weekend I did rewrite all of it. And at the time the word JSON hadn't been coined yet too, just to give you a sense. So it's all XML.[00:10:47] swyx: Yeah.[00:10:47] Bret: So we used what is now you would call JSON, but I just said like, let's use eval so that we can parse the data fast. And, and again, that's, it would literally as JSON, but at the time there was no name for it. So we [00:11:00] just said, let's. Pass on JavaScript from the server and eval it. And then somebody just refactored the whole thing.[00:11:05] Bret: And, and it wasn't like I was some genius. It was just like, you know, if you knew everything you wished you had known at the beginning and I knew all the functionality, cause I was the primary, one of the primary authors of the JavaScript. And I just like, I just drank a lot of coffee and just stayed up all weekend.[00:11:22] Bret: And then I, I guess I developed a bit of reputation and no one knew about this for a long time. And then Paul who created Gmail and I ended up starting a company with him too, after all of this told this on a podcast and now it's large, but it's largely true. I did rewrite it and it, my proudest thing.[00:11:38] Bret: And I think JavaScript people appreciate this. Like the un G zipped bundle size for all of Google maps. When I rewrote, it was 20 K G zipped. It was like much smaller for the entire application. It went down by like 10 X. So. What happened on Google? Google is a pretty mainstream company. And so like our usage is shot up because it turns out like it's faster.[00:11:57] Bret: Just being faster is worth a lot of [00:12:00] percentage points of growth at a scale of Google. So how[00:12:03] swyx: much modern tooling did you have? Like test suites no compilers.[00:12:07] Bret: Actually, that's not true. We did it one thing. So I actually think Google, I, you can. Download it. There's a, Google has a closure compiler, a closure compiler.[00:12:15] Bret: I don't know if anyone still uses it. It's gone. Yeah. Yeah. It's sort of gone out of favor. Yeah. Well, even until recently it was better than most JavaScript minifiers because it was more like it did a lot more renaming of variables and things. Most people use ES build now just cause it's fast and closure compilers built on Java and super slow and stuff like that.[00:12:37] Bret: But, so we did have that, that was it. Okay.[00:12:39] The Evolution of Web Applications[00:12:39] Bret: So and that was treated internally, you know, it was a really interesting time at Google at the time because there's a lot of teams working on fairly advanced JavaScript when no one was. So Google suggest, which Kevin Gibbs was the tech lead for, was the first kind of type ahead, autocomplete, I believe in a web browser, and now it's just pervasive in search boxes that you sort of [00:13:00] see a type ahead there.[00:13:01] Bret: I mean, chat, dbt[00:13:01] swyx: just added it. It's kind of like a round trip.[00:13:03] Bret: Totally. No, it's now pervasive as a UI affordance, but that was like Kevin's 20 percent project. And then Gmail, Paul you know, he tells the story better than anyone, but he's like, you know, basically was scratching his own itch, but what was really neat about it is email, because it's such a productivity tool, just needed to be faster.[00:13:21] Bret: So, you know, he was scratching his own itch of just making more stuff work on the client side. And then we, because of Lars and Yen sort of like setting the bar of this windows app or like we need our maps to be draggable. So we ended up. Not only innovate in terms of having a big sync, what would be called a single page application today, but also all the graphical stuff you know, we were crashing Firefox, like it was going out of style because, you know, when you make a document object model with the idea that it's a document and then you layer on some JavaScript and then we're essentially abusing all of this, it just was running into code paths that were not.[00:13:56] Bret: Well, it's rotten, you know, at this time. And so it was [00:14:00] super fun. And, and, you know, in the building you had, so you had compilers, people helping minify JavaScript just practically, but there is a great engineering team. So they were like, that's why Closure Compiler is so good. It was like a. Person who actually knew about programming languages doing it, not just, you know, writing regular expressions.[00:14:17] Bret: And then the team that is now the Chrome team believe, and I, I don't know this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure Google is the main contributor to Firefox for a long time in terms of code. And a lot of browser people were there. So every time we would crash Firefox, we'd like walk up two floors and say like, what the hell is going on here?[00:14:35] Bret: And they would load their browser, like in a debugger. And we could like figure out exactly what was breaking. And you can't change the code, right? Cause it's the browser. It's like slow, right? I mean, slow to update. So, but we could figure out exactly where the bug was and then work around it in our JavaScript.[00:14:52] Bret: So it was just like new territory. Like so super, super fun time, just like a lot of, a lot of great engineers figuring out [00:15:00] new things. And And now, you know, the word, this term is no longer in fashion, but the word Ajax, which was asynchronous JavaScript and XML cause I'm telling you XML, but see the word XML there, to be fair, the way you made HTTP requests from a client to server was this.[00:15:18] Bret: Object called XML HTTP request because Microsoft and making Outlook web access back in the day made this and it turns out to have nothing to do with XML. It's just a way of making HTTP requests because XML was like the fashionable thing. It was like that was the way you, you know, you did it. But the JSON came out of that, you know, and then a lot of the best practices around building JavaScript applications is pre React.[00:15:44] Bret: I think React was probably the big conceptual step forward that we needed. Even my first social network after Google, we used a lot of like HTML injection and. Making real time updates was still very hand coded and it's really neat when you [00:16:00] see conceptual breakthroughs like react because it's, I just love those things where it's like obvious once you see it, but it's so not obvious until you do.[00:16:07] Bret: And actually, well, I'm sure we'll get into AI, but I, I sort of feel like we'll go through that evolution with AI agents as well that I feel like we're missing a lot of the core abstractions that I think in 10 years we'll be like, gosh, how'd you make agents? Before that, you know, but it was kind of that early days of web applications.[00:16:22] swyx: There's a lot of contenders for the reactive jobs of of AI, but no clear winner yet. I would say one thing I was there for, I mean, there's so much we can go into there. You just covered so much.[00:16:32] Product Management and Engineering Synergy[00:16:32] swyx: One thing I just, I just observe is that I think the early Google days had this interesting mix of PM and engineer, which I think you are, you didn't, you didn't wait for PM to tell you these are my, this is my PRD.[00:16:42] swyx: This is my requirements.[00:16:44] mix: Oh,[00:16:44] Bret: okay.[00:16:45] swyx: I wasn't technically a software engineer. I mean,[00:16:48] Bret: by title, obviously. Right, right, right.[00:16:51] swyx: It's like a blend. And I feel like these days, product is its own discipline and its own lore and own industry and engineering is its own thing. And there's this process [00:17:00] that happens and they're kind of separated, but you don't produce as good of a product as if they were the same person.[00:17:06] swyx: And I'm curious, you know, if, if that, if that sort of resonates in, in, in terms of like comparing early Google versus modern startups that you see out there,[00:17:16] Bret: I certainly like wear a lot of hats. So, you know, sort of biased in this, but I really agree that there's a lot of power and combining product design engineering into as few people as possible because, you know few great things have been created by committee, you know, and so.[00:17:33] Bret: If engineering is an order taking organization for product you can sometimes make meaningful things, but rarely will you create extremely well crafted breakthrough products. Those tend to be small teams who deeply understand the customer need that they're solving, who have a. Maniacal focus on outcomes.[00:17:53] Bret: And I think the reason why it's, I think for some areas, if you look at like software as a service five years ago, maybe you can have a [00:18:00] separation of product and engineering because most software as a service created five years ago. I wouldn't say there's like a lot of like. Technological breakthroughs required for most, you know, business applications.[00:18:11] Bret: And if you're making expense reporting software or whatever, it's useful. I don't mean to be dismissive of expense reporting software, but you probably just want to understand like, what are the requirements of the finance department? What are the requirements of an individual file expense report? Okay.[00:18:25] Bret: Go implement that. And you kind of know how web applications are implemented. You kind of know how to. How databases work, how to build auto scaling with your AWS cluster, whatever, you know, it's just, you're just applying best practices to yet another problem when you have areas like the early days of mobile development or the early days of interactive web applications, which I think Google Maps and Gmail represent, or now AI agents, you're in this constant conversation with what the requirements of your customers and stakeholders are and all the different people interacting with it.[00:18:58] Bret: And the capabilities of the [00:19:00] technology. And it's almost impossible to specify the requirements of a product when you're not sure of the limitations of the technology itself. And that's why I use the word conversation. It's not literal. That's sort of funny to use that word in the age of conversational AI.[00:19:15] Bret: You're constantly sort of saying, like, ideally, you could sprinkle some magic AI pixie dust and solve all the world's problems, but it's not the way it works. And it turns out that actually, I'll just give an interesting example.[00:19:26] AI Agents and Modern Tooling[00:19:26] Bret: I think most people listening probably use co pilots to code like Cursor or Devon or Microsoft Copilot or whatever.[00:19:34] Bret: Most of those tools are, they're remarkable. I'm, I couldn't, you know, imagine development without them now, but they're not autonomous yet. Like I wouldn't let it just write most code without my interactively inspecting it. We just are somewhere between it's an amazing co pilot and it's an autonomous software engineer.[00:19:53] Bret: As a product manager, like your aspirations for what the product is are like kind of meaningful. But [00:20:00] if you're a product person, yeah, of course you'd say it should be autonomous. You should click a button and program should come out the other side. The requirements meaningless. Like what matters is like, what is based on the like very nuanced limitations of the technology.[00:20:14] Bret: What is it capable of? And then how do you maximize the leverage? It gives a software engineering team, given those very nuanced trade offs. Coupled with the fact that those nuanced trade offs are changing more rapidly than any technology in my memory, meaning every few months you'll have new models with new capabilities.[00:20:34] Bret: So how do you construct a product that can absorb those new capabilities as rapidly as possible as well? That requires such a combination of technical depth and understanding the customer that you really need more integration. Of product design and engineering. And so I think it's why with these big technology waves, I think startups have a bit of a leg up relative to incumbents because they [00:21:00] tend to be sort of more self actualized in terms of just like bringing those disciplines closer together.[00:21:06] Bret: And in particular, I think entrepreneurs, the proverbial full stack engineers, you know, have a leg up as well because. I think most breakthroughs happen when you have someone who can understand those extremely nuanced technical trade offs, have a vision for a product. And then in the process of building it, have that, as I said, like metaphorical conversation with the technology, right?[00:21:30] Bret: Gosh, I ran into a technical limit that I didn't expect. It's not just like changing that feature. You might need to refactor the whole product based on that. And I think that's, that it's particularly important right now. So I don't, you know, if you, if you're building a big ERP system, probably there's a great reason to have product and engineering.[00:21:51] Bret: I think in general, the disciplines are there for a reason. I think when you're dealing with something as nuanced as the like technologies, like large language models today, there's a ton of [00:22:00] advantage of having. Individuals or organizations that integrate the disciplines more formally.[00:22:05] Alessio: That makes a lot of sense.[00:22:06] Alessio: I've run a lot of engineering teams in the past, and I think the product versus engineering tension has always been more about effort than like whether or not the feature is buildable. But I think, yeah, today you see a lot more of like. Models actually cannot do that. And I think the most interesting thing is on the startup side, people don't yet know where a lot of the AI value is going to accrue.[00:22:26] Alessio: So you have this rush of people building frameworks, building infrastructure, layered things, but we don't really know the shape of the compute. I'm curious that Sierra, like how you thought about building an house, a lot of the tooling for evals or like just, you know, building the agents and all of that.[00:22:41] Alessio: Versus how you see some of the startup opportunities that is maybe still out there.[00:22:46] Bret: We build most of our tooling in house at Sierra, not all. It's, we don't, it's not like not invented here syndrome necessarily, though, maybe slightly guilty of that in some ways, but because we're trying to build a platform [00:23:00] that's in Dorian, you know, we really want to have control over our own destiny.[00:23:03] Bret: And you had made a comment earlier that like. We're still trying to figure out who like the reactive agents are and the jury is still out. I would argue it hasn't been created yet. I don't think the jury is still out to go use that metaphor. We're sort of in the jQuery era of agents, not the react era.[00:23:19] Bret: And, and that's like a throwback for people listening,[00:23:22] swyx: we shouldn't rush it. You know?[00:23:23] Bret: No, yeah, that's my point is. And so. Because we're trying to create an enduring company at Sierra that outlives us, you know, I'm not sure we want to like attach our cart to some like to a horse where it's not clear that like we've figured out and I actually want as a company, we're trying to enable just at a high level and I'll, I'll quickly go back to tech at Sierra, we help consumer brands build customer facing AI agents.[00:23:48] Bret: So. Everyone from Sonos to ADT home security to Sirius XM, you know, if you call them on the phone and AI will pick up with you, you know, chat with them on the Sirius XM homepage. It's an AI agent called Harmony [00:24:00] that they've built on our platform. We're what are the contours of what it means for someone to build an end to end complete customer experience with AI with conversational AI.[00:24:09] Bret: You know, we really want to dive into the deep end of, of all the trade offs to do it. You know, where do you use fine tuning? Where do you string models together? You know, where do you use reasoning? Where do you use generation? How do you use reasoning? How do you express the guardrails of an agentic process?[00:24:25] Bret: How do you impose determinism on a fundamentally non deterministic technology? There's just a lot of really like as an important design space. And I could sit here and tell you, we have the best approach. Every entrepreneur will, you know. But I hope that in two years, we look back at our platform and laugh at how naive we were, because that's the pace of change broadly.[00:24:45] Bret: If you talk about like the startup opportunities, I'm not wholly skeptical of tools companies, but I'm fairly skeptical. There's always an exception for every role, but I believe that certainly there's a big market for [00:25:00] frontier models, but largely for companies with huge CapEx budgets. So. Open AI and Microsoft's Anthropic and Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud XAI, which is very well capitalized now, but I think the, the idea that a company can make money sort of pre training a foundation model is probably not true.[00:25:20] Bret: It's hard to, you're competing with just, you know, unreasonably large CapEx budgets. And I just like the cloud infrastructure market, I think will be largely there. I also really believe in the applications of AI. And I define that not as like building agents or things like that. I define it much more as like, you're actually solving a problem for a business.[00:25:40] Bret: So it's what Harvey is doing in legal profession or what cursor is doing for software engineering or what we're doing for customer experience and customer service. The reason I believe in that is I do think that in the age of AI, what's really interesting about software is it can actually complete a task.[00:25:56] Bret: It can actually do a job, which is very different than the value proposition of [00:26:00] software was to ancient history two years ago. And as a consequence, I think the way you build a solution and For a domain is very different than you would have before, which means that it's not obvious, like the incumbent incumbents have like a leg up, you know, necessarily, they certainly have some advantages, but there's just such a different form factor, you know, for providing a solution and it's just really valuable.[00:26:23] Bret: You know, it's. Like just think of how much money cursor is saving software engineering teams or the alternative, how much revenue it can produce tool making is really challenging. If you look at the cloud market, just as a analog, there are a lot of like interesting tools, companies, you know, Confluent, Monetized Kafka, Snowflake, Hortonworks, you know, there's a, there's a bunch of them.[00:26:48] Bret: A lot of them, you know, have that mix of sort of like like confluence or have the open source or open core or whatever you call it. I, I, I'm not an expert in this area. You know, I do think [00:27:00] that developers are fickle. I think that in the tool space, I probably like. Default towards open source being like the area that will win.[00:27:09] Bret: It's hard to build a company around this and then you end up with companies sort of built around open source to that can work. Don't get me wrong, but I just think that it's nowadays the tools are changing so rapidly that I'm like, not totally skeptical of tool makers, but I just think that open source will broadly win, but I think that the CapEx required for building frontier models is such that it will go to a handful of big companies.[00:27:33] Bret: And then I really believe in agents for specific domains which I think will, it's sort of the analog to software as a service in this new era. You know, it's like, if you just think of the cloud. You can lease a server. It's just a low level primitive, or you can buy an app like you know, Shopify or whatever.[00:27:51] Bret: And most people building a storefront would prefer Shopify over hand rolling their e commerce storefront. I think the same thing will be true of AI. So [00:28:00] I've. I tend to like, if I have a, like an entrepreneur asked me for advice, I'm like, you know, move up the stack as far as you can towards a customer need.[00:28:09] Bret: Broadly, but I, but it doesn't reduce my excitement about what is the reactive building agents kind of thing, just because it is, it is the right question to ask, but I think we'll probably play out probably an open source space more than anything else.[00:28:21] swyx: Yeah, and it's not a priority for you. There's a lot in there.[00:28:24] swyx: I'm kind of curious about your idea maze towards, there are many customer needs. You happen to identify customer experience as yours, but it could equally have been coding assistance or whatever. I think for some, I'm just kind of curious at the top down, how do you look at the world in terms of the potential problem space?[00:28:44] swyx: Because there are many people out there who are very smart and pick the wrong problem.[00:28:47] Bret: Yeah, that's a great question.[00:28:48] Future of Software Development[00:28:48] Bret: By the way, I would love to talk about the future of software, too, because despite the fact it didn't pick coding, I have a lot of that, but I can talk to I can answer your question, though, you know I think when a technology is as [00:29:00] cool as large language models.[00:29:02] Bret: You just see a lot of people starting from the technology and searching for a problem to solve. And I think it's why you see a lot of tools companies, because as a software engineer, you start building an app or a demo and you, you encounter some pain points. You're like,[00:29:17] swyx: a lot of[00:29:17] Bret: people are experiencing the same pain point.[00:29:19] Bret: What if I make it? That it's just very incremental. And you know, I always like to use the metaphor, like you can sell coffee beans, roasted coffee beans. You can add some value. You took coffee beans and you roasted them and roasted coffee beans largely, you know, are priced relative to the cost of the beans.[00:29:39] Bret: Or you can sell a latte and a latte. Is rarely priced directly like as a percentage of coffee bean prices. In fact, if you buy a latte at the airport, it's a captive audience. So it's a really expensive latte. And there's just a lot that goes into like. How much does a latte cost? And I bring it up because there's a supply chain from growing [00:30:00] coffee beans to roasting coffee beans to like, you know, you could make one at home or you could be in the airport and buy one and the margins of the company selling lattes in the airport is a lot higher than the, you know, people roasting the coffee beans and it's because you've actually solved a much more acute human problem in the airport.[00:30:19] Bret: And, and it's just worth a lot more to that person in that moment. It's kind of the way I think about technology too. It sounds funny to liken it to coffee beans, but you're selling tools on top of a large language model yet in some ways your market is big, but you're probably going to like be price compressed just because you're sort of a piece of infrastructure and then you have open source and all these other things competing with you naturally.[00:30:43] Bret: If you go and solve a really big business problem for somebody, that's actually like a meaningful business problem that AI facilitates, they will value it according to the value of that business problem. And so I actually feel like people should just stop. You're like, no, that's, that's [00:31:00] unfair. If you're searching for an idea of people, I, I love people trying things, even if, I mean, most of the, a lot of the greatest ideas have been things no one believed in.[00:31:07] Bret: So I like, if you're passionate about something, go do it. Like who am I to say, yeah, a hundred percent. Or Gmail, like Paul as far, I mean I, some of it's Laura at this point, but like Gmail is Paul's own email for a long time. , and then I amusingly and Paul can't correct me, I'm pretty sure he sent her in a link and like the first comment was like, this is really neat.[00:31:26] Bret: It would be great. It was not your email, but my own . I don't know if it's a true story. I'm pretty sure it's, yeah, I've read that before. So scratch your own niche. Fine. Like it depends on what your goal is. If you wanna do like a venture backed company, if its a. Passion project, f*****g passion, do it like don't listen to anybody.[00:31:41] Bret: In fact, but if you're trying to start, you know an enduring company, solve an important business problem. And I, and I do think that in the world of agents, the software industries has shifted where you're not just helping people more. People be more productive, but you're actually accomplishing tasks autonomously.[00:31:58] Bret: And as a consequence, I think the [00:32:00] addressable market has just greatly expanded just because software can actually do things now and actually accomplish tasks and how much is coding autocomplete worth. A fair amount. How much is the eventual, I'm certain we'll have it, the software agent that actually writes the code and delivers it to you, that's worth a lot.[00:32:20] Bret: And so, you know, I would just maybe look up from the large language models and start thinking about the economy and, you know, think from first principles. I don't wanna get too far afield, but just think about which parts of the economy. We'll benefit most from this intelligence and which parts can absorb it most easily.[00:32:38] Bret: And what would an agent in this space look like? Who's the customer of it is the technology feasible. And I would just start with these business problems more. And I think, you know, the best companies tend to have great engineers who happen to have great insight into a market. And it's that last part that I think some people.[00:32:56] Bret: Whether or not they have, it's like people start so much in the technology, they [00:33:00] lose the forest for the trees a little bit.[00:33:02] Alessio: How do you think about the model of still selling some sort of software versus selling more package labor? I feel like when people are selling the package labor, it's almost more stateless, you know, like it's easier to swap out if you're just putting an input and getting an output.[00:33:16] Alessio: If you think about coding, if there's no ID, you're just putting a prompt and getting back an app. It doesn't really matter. Who generates the app, you know, you have less of a buy in versus the platform you're building, I'm sure on the backend customers have to like put on their documentation and they have, you know, different workflows that they can tie in what's kind of like the line to draw there versus like going full where you're managed customer support team as a service outsource versus.[00:33:40] Alessio: This is the Sierra platform that you can build on. What was that decision? I'll sort of[00:33:44] Bret: like decouple the question in some ways, which is when you have something that's an agent, who is the person using it and what do they want to do with it? So let's just take your coding agent for a second. I will talk about Sierra as well.[00:33:59] Bret: Who's the [00:34:00] customer of a, an agent that actually produces software? Is it a software engineering manager? Is it a software engineer? And it's there, you know, intern so to speak. I don't know. I mean, we'll figure this out over the next few years. Like what is that? And is it generating code that you then review?[00:34:16] Bret: Is it generating code with a set of unit tests that pass, what is the actual. For lack of a better word contract, like, how do you know that it did what you wanted it to do? And then I would say like the product and the pricing, the packaging model sort of emerged from that. And I don't think the world's figured out.[00:34:33] Bret: I think it'll be different for every agent. You know, in our customer base, we do what's called outcome based pricing. So essentially every time the AI agent. Solves the problem or saves a customer or whatever it might be. There's a pre negotiated rate for that. We do that. Cause it's, we think that that's sort of the correct way agents, you know, should be packaged.[00:34:53] Bret: I look back at the history of like cloud software and notably the introduction of the browser, which led to [00:35:00] software being delivered in a browser, like Salesforce to. Famously invented sort of software as a service, which is both a technical delivery model through the browser, but also a business model, which is you subscribe to it rather than pay for a perpetual license.[00:35:13] Bret: Those two things are somewhat orthogonal, but not really. If you think about the idea of software running in a browser, that's hosted. Data center that you don't own, you sort of needed to change the business model because you don't, you can't really buy a perpetual license or something otherwise like, how do you afford making changes to it?[00:35:31] Bret: So it only worked when you were buying like a new version every year or whatever. So to some degree, but then the business model shift actually changed business as we know it, because now like. Things like Adobe Photoshop. Now you subscribe to rather than purchase. So it ended up where you had a technical shift and a business model shift that were very logically intertwined that actually the business model shift was turned out to be as significant as the technical as the shift.[00:35:59] Bret: And I think with [00:36:00] agents, because they actually accomplish a job, I do think that it doesn't make sense to me that you'd pay for the privilege of like. Using the software like that coding agent, like if it writes really bad code, like fire it, you know, I don't know what the right metaphor is like you should pay for a job.[00:36:17] Bret: Well done in my opinion. I mean, that's how you pay your software engineers, right? And[00:36:20] swyx: and well, not really. We paid to put them on salary and give them options and they vest over time. That's fair.[00:36:26] Bret: But my point is that you don't pay them for how many characters they write, which is sort of the token based, you know, whatever, like, There's a, that famous Apple story where we're like asking for a report of how many lines of code you wrote.[00:36:40] Bret: And one of the engineers showed up with like a negative number cause he had just like done a big refactoring. There was like a big F you to management who didn't understand how software is written. You know, my sense is like the traditional usage based or seat based thing. It's just going to look really antiquated.[00:36:55] Bret: Cause it's like asking your software engineer, how many lines of code did you write today? Like who cares? Like, cause [00:37:00] absolutely no correlation. So my old view is I don't think it's be different in every category, but I do think that that is the, if an agent is doing a job, you should, I think it properly incentivizes the maker of that agent and the customer of, of your pain for the job well done.[00:37:16] Bret: It's not always perfect to measure. It's hard to measure engineering productivity, but you can, you should do something other than how many keys you typed, you know Talk about perverse incentives for AI, right? Like I can write really long functions to do the same thing, right? So broadly speaking, you know, I do think that we're going to see a change in business models of software towards outcomes.[00:37:36] Bret: And I think you'll see a change in delivery models too. And, and, you know, in our customer base you know, we empower our customers to really have their hands on the steering wheel of what the agent does they, they want and need that. But the role is different. You know, at a lot of our customers, the customer experience operations folks have renamed themselves the AI architects, which I think is really cool.[00:37:55] Bret: And, you know, it's like in the early days of the Internet, there's the role of the webmaster. [00:38:00] And I don't know whether your webmaster is not a fashionable, you know, Term, nor is it a job anymore? I just, I don't know. Will they, our tech stand the test of time? Maybe, maybe not. But I do think that again, I like, you know, because everyone listening right now is a software engineer.[00:38:14] Bret: Like what is the form factor of a coding agent? And actually I'll, I'll take a breath. Cause actually I have a bunch of pins on them. Like I wrote a blog post right before Christmas, just on the future of software development. And one of the things that's interesting is like, if you look at the way I use cursor today, as an example, it's inside of.[00:38:31] Bret: A repackaged visual studio code environment. I sometimes use the sort of agentic parts of it, but it's largely, you know, I've sort of gotten a good routine of making it auto complete code in the way I want through tuning it properly when it actually can write. I do wonder what like the future of development environments will look like.[00:38:55] Bret: And to your point on what is a software product, I think it's going to change a lot in [00:39:00] ways that will surprise us. But I always use, I use the metaphor in my blog post of, have you all driven around in a way, Mo around here? Yeah, everyone has. And there are these Jaguars, the really nice cars, but it's funny because it still has a steering wheel, even though there's no one sitting there and the steering wheels like turning and stuff clearly in the future.[00:39:16] Bret: If once we get to that, be more ubiquitous, like why have the steering wheel and also why have all the seats facing forward? Maybe just for car sickness. I don't know, but you could totally rearrange the car. I mean, so much of the car is oriented around the driver, so. It stands to reason to me that like, well, autonomous agents for software engineering run through visual studio code.[00:39:37] Bret: That seems a little bit silly because having a single source code file open one at a time is kind of a goofy form factor for when like the code isn't being written primarily by you, but it begs the question of what's your relationship with that agent. And I think the same is true in our industry of customer experience, which is like.[00:39:55] Bret: Who are the people managing this agent? What are the tools do they need? And they definitely need [00:40:00] tools, but it's probably pretty different than the tools we had before. It's certainly different than training a contact center team. And as software engineers, I think that I would like to see particularly like on the passion project side or research side.[00:40:14] Bret: More innovation in programming languages. I think that we're bringing the cost of writing code down to zero. So the fact that we're still writing Python with AI cracks me up just cause it's like literally was designed to be ergonomic to write, not safe to run or fast to run. I would love to see more innovation and how we verify program correctness.[00:40:37] Bret: I studied for formal verification in college a little bit and. It's not very fashionable because it's really like tedious and slow and doesn't work very well. If a lot of code is being written by a machine, you know, one of the primary values we can provide is verifying that it actually does what we intend that it does.[00:40:56] Bret: I think there should be lots of interesting things in the software development life cycle, like how [00:41:00] we think of testing and everything else, because. If you think about if we have to manually read every line of code that's coming out as machines, it will just rate limit how much the machines can do. The alternative is totally unsafe.[00:41:13] Bret: So I wouldn't want to put code in production that didn't go through proper code review and inspection. So my whole view is like, I actually think there's like an AI native I don't think the coding agents don't work well enough to do this yet, but once they do, what is sort of an AI native software development life cycle and how do you actually.[00:41:31] Bret: Enable the creators of software to produce the highest quality, most robust, fastest software and know that it's correct. And I think that's an incredible opportunity. I mean, how much C code can we rewrite and rust and make it safe so that there's fewer security vulnerabilities. Can we like have more efficient, safer code than ever before?[00:41:53] Bret: And can you have someone who's like that guy in the matrix, you know, like staring at the little green things, like where could you have an operator [00:42:00] of a code generating machine be like superhuman? I think that's a cool vision. And I think too many people are focused on like. Autocomplete, you know, right now, I'm not, I'm not even, I'm guilty as charged.[00:42:10] Bret: I guess in some ways, but I just like, I'd like to see some bolder ideas. And that's why when you were joking, you know, talking about what's the react of whatever, I think we're clearly in a local maximum, you know, metaphor, like sort of conceptual local maximum, obviously it's moving really fast. I think we're moving out of it.[00:42:26] Alessio: Yeah. At the end of 23, I've read this blog post from syntax to semantics. Like if you think about Python. It's taking C and making it more semantic and LLMs are like the ultimate semantic program, right? You can just talk to them and they can generate any type of syntax from your language. But again, the languages that they have to use were made for us, not for them.[00:42:46] Alessio: But the problem is like, as long as you will ever need a human to intervene, you cannot change the language under it. You know what I mean? So I'm curious at what point of automation we'll need to get, we're going to be okay making changes. To the underlying languages, [00:43:00] like the programming languages versus just saying, Hey, you just got to write Python because I understand Python and I'm more important at the end of the day than the model.[00:43:08] Alessio: But I think that will change, but I don't know if it's like two years or five years. I think it's more nuanced actually.[00:43:13] Bret: So I think there's a, some of the more interesting programming languages bring semantics into syntax. So let me, that's a little reductive, but like Rust as an example, Rust is memory safe.[00:43:25] Bret: Statically, and that was a really interesting conceptual, but it's why it's hard to write rust. It's why most people write python instead of rust. I think rust programs are safer and faster than python, probably slower to compile. But like broadly speaking, like given the option, if you didn't have to care about the labor that went into it.[00:43:45] Bret: You should prefer a program written in Rust over a program written in Python, just because it will run more efficiently. It's almost certainly safer, et cetera, et cetera, depending on how you define safe, but most people don't write Rust because it's kind of a pain in the ass. And [00:44:00] the audience of people who can is smaller, but it's sort of better in most, most ways.[00:44:05] Bret: And again, let's say you're making a web service and you didn't have to care about how hard it was to write. If you just got the output of the web service, the rest one would be cheaper to operate. It's certainly cheaper and probably more correct just because there's so much in the static analysis implied by the rest programming language that it probably will have fewer runtime errors and things like that as well.[00:44:25] Bret: So I just give that as an example, because so rust, at least my understanding that came out of the Mozilla team, because. There's lots of security vulnerabilities in the browser and it needs to be really fast. They said, okay, we want to put more of a burden at the authorship time to have fewer issues at runtime.[00:44:43] Bret: And we need the constraint that it has to be done statically because browsers need to be really fast. My sense is if you just think about like the, the needs of a programming language today, where the role of a software engineer is [00:45:00] to use an AI to generate functionality and audit that it does in fact work as intended, maybe functionally, maybe from like a correctness standpoint, some combination thereof, how would you create a programming system that facilitated that?[00:45:15] Bret: And, you know, I bring up Rust is because I think it's a good example of like, I think given a choice of writing in C or Rust, you should choose Rust today. I think most people would say that, even C aficionados, just because. C is largely less safe for very similar, you know, trade offs, you know, for the, the system and now with AI, it's like, okay, well, that just changes the game on writing these things.[00:45:36] Bret: And so like, I just wonder if a combination of programming languages that are more structurally oriented towards the values that we need from an AI generated program, verifiable correctness and all of that. If it's tedious to produce for a person, that maybe doesn't matter. But one thing, like if I asked you, is this rest program memory safe?[00:45:58] Bret: You wouldn't have to read it, you just have [00:46:00] to compile it. So that's interesting. I mean, that's like an, that's one example of a very modest form of formal verification. So I bring that up because I do think you have AI inspect AI, you can have AI reviewed. Do AI code reviews. It would disappoint me if the best we could get was AI reviewing Python and having scaled a few very large.[00:46:21] Bret: Websites that were written on Python. It's just like, you know, expensive and it's like every, trust me, every team who's written a big web service in Python has experimented with like Pi Pi and all these things just to make it slightly more efficient than it naturally is. You don't really have true multi threading anyway.[00:46:36] Bret: It's just like clearly that you do it just because it's convenient to write. And I just feel like we're, I don't want to say it's insane. I just mean. I do think we're at a local maximum. And I would hope that we create a programming system, a combination of programming languages, formal verification, testing, automated code reviews, where you can use AI to generate software in a high scale way and trust it.[00:46:59] Bret: And you're [00:47:00] not limited by your ability to read it necessarily. I don't know exactly what form that would take, but I feel like that would be a pretty cool world to live in.[00:47:08] Alessio: Yeah. We had Chris Lanner on the podcast. He's doing great work with modular. I mean, I love. LVM. Yeah. Basically merging rust in and Python.[00:47:15] Alessio: That's kind of the idea. Should be, but I'm curious is like, for them a big use case was like making it compatible with Python, same APIs so that Python developers could use it. Yeah. And so I, I wonder at what point, well, yeah.[00:47:26] Bret: At least my understanding is they're targeting the data science Yeah. Machine learning crowd, which is all written in Python, so still feels like a local maximum.[00:47:34] Bret: Yeah.[00:47:34] swyx: Yeah, exactly. I'll force you to make a prediction. You know, Python's roughly 30 years old. In 30 years from now, is Rust going to be bigger than Python?[00:47:42] Bret: I don't know this, but just, I don't even know this is a prediction. I just am sort of like saying stuff I hope is true. I would like to see an AI native programming language and programming system, and I use language because I'm not sure language is even the right thing, but I hope in 30 years, there's an AI native way we make [00:48:00] software that is wholly uncorrelated with the current set of programming languages.[00:48:04] Bret: or not uncorrelated, but I think most programming languages today were designed to be efficiently authored by people and some have different trade offs.[00:48:15] Evolution of Programming Languages[00:48:15] Bret: You know, you have Haskell and others that were designed for abstractions for parallelism and things like that. You have programming languages like Python, which are designed to be very easily written, sort of like Perl and Python lineage, which is why data scientists use it.[00:48:31] Bret: It's it can, it has a. Interactive mode, things like that. And I love, I'm a huge Python fan. So despite all my Python trash talk, a huge Python fan wrote at least two of my three companies were exclusively written in Python and then C came out of the birth of Unix and it wasn't the first, but certainly the most prominent first step after assembly language, right?[00:48:54] Bret: Where you had higher level abstractions rather than and going beyond go to, to like abstractions, [00:49:00] like the for loop and the while loop.[00:49:01] The Future of Software Engineering[00:49:01] Bret: So I just think that if the act of writing code is no longer a meaningful human exercise, maybe it will be, I don't know. I'm just saying it sort of feels like maybe it's one of those parts of history that just will sort of like go away, but there's still the role of this offer engineer, like the person actually building the system.[00:49:20] Bret: Right. And. What does a programming system for that form factor look like?[00:49:25] React and Front-End Development[00:49:25] Bret: And I, I just have a, I hope to be just like I mentioned, I remember I was at Facebook in the very early days when, when, what is now react was being created. And I remember when the, it was like released open source I had left by that time and I was just like, this is so f*****g cool.[00:49:42] Bret: Like, you know, to basically model your app independent of the data flowing through it, just made everything easier. And then now. You know, I can create, like there's a lot of the front end software gym play is like a little chaotic for me, to be honest with you. It is like, it's sort of like [00:50:00] abstraction soup right now for me, but like some of those core ideas felt really ergonomic.[00:50:04] Bret: I just wanna, I'm just looking forward to the day when someone comes up with a programming system that feels both really like an aha moment, but completely foreign to me at the same time. Because they created it with sort of like from first principles recognizing that like. Authoring code in an editor is maybe not like the primary like reason why a programming system exists anymore.[00:50:26] Bret: And I think that's like, that would be a very exciting day for me.[00:50:28] The Role of AI in Programming[00:50:28] swyx: Yeah, I would say like the various versions of this discussion have happened at the end of the day, you still need to precisely communicate what you want. As a manager of people, as someone who has done many, many legal contracts, you know how hard that is.[00:50:42] swyx: And then now we have to talk to machines doing that and AIs interpreting what we mean and reading our minds effectively. I don't know how to get across that barrier of translating human intent to instructions. And yes, it can be more declarative, but I don't know if it'll ever Crossover from being [00:51:00] a programming language to something more than that.[00:51:02] Bret: I agree with you. And I actually do think if you look at like a legal contract, you know, the imprecision of the English language, it's like a flaw in the system. How many[00:51:12] swyx: holes there are.[00:51:13] Bret: And I do think that when you're making a mission critical software system, I don't think it should be English language prompts.[00:51:19] Bret: I think that is silly because you want the precision of a a programming language. My point was less about that and more about if the actual act of authoring it, like if you.[00:51:32] Formal Verification in Software[00:51:32] Bret: I'll think of some embedded systems do use formal verification. I know it's very common in like security protocols now so that you can, because the importance of correctness is so great.[00:51:41] Bret: My intellectual exercise is like, why not do that for all software? I mean, probably that's silly just literally to do what we literally do for. These low level security protocols, but the only reason we don't is because it's hard and tedious and hard and tedious are no longer factors. So, like, if I could, I mean, [00:52:00] just think of, like, the silliest app on your phone right now, the idea that that app should be, like, formally verified for its correctness feels laughable right now because, like, God, why would you spend the time on it?[00:52:10] Bret: But if it's zero costs, like, yeah, I guess so. I mean, it never crashed. That's probably good. You know, why not? I just want to, like, set our bars really high. Like. We should make, software has been amazing. Like there's a Mark Andreessen blog post, software is eating the world. And you know, our whole life is, is mediated digitally.[00:52:26] Bret: And that's just increasing with AI. And now we'll have our personal agents talking to the agents on the CRO platform and it's agents all the way down, you know, our core infrastructure is running on these digital systems. We now have like, and we've had a shortage of software developers for my entire life.[00:52:45] Bret: And as a consequence, you know if you look, remember like health care, got healthcare. gov that fiasco security vulnerabilities leading to state actors getting access to critical infrastructure. I'm like. We now have like created this like amazing system that can [00:53:00] like, we can fix this, you know, and I, I just want to, I'm both excited about the productivity gains in the economy, but I just think as software engineers, we should be bolder.[00:53:08] Bret: Like we should have aspirations to fix these systems so that like in general, as you said, as precise as we want to be in the specification of the system. We can make it work correctly now, and I'm being a little bit hand wavy, and I think we need some systems. I think that's where we should set the bar, especially when so much of our life depends on this critical digital infrastructure.[00:53:28] Bret: So I'm I'm just like super optimistic about it. But actually, let's go to w

No “Estadão Analisa” desta quarta-feira, 18, Carlos Andreazza fala sobre a aprovação, pela Câmara dos Deputados, do texto-base do primeiro projeto do pacote de corte de gastos encaminhado pelo governo Lula ao Congresso. O projeto de lei complementar relatado pelo deputado Átila Lira (PP-PI) cria “reforços” ao arcabouço fiscal, prevendo disparo de novos gatilhos para congelamento de gastos em caso de piora das contas públicas, além de permitir que o governo possa bloquear até 15% das emendas parlamentares. Com 318 votos a favor (eram necessários 257) e 149 votos contrários. Os deputados rejeitaram três destaques (sugestões de mudanças ao texto principal) e deixaram outros três para serem analisados nesta quarta-feira, 18. Concluída a votação, o texto seguirá para a análise do Senado Federal. Uma das medidas proposta pela equipe econômica, contudo, caiu: a que limitava a restituição de créditos tributários pelas empresas. A proposta enfrentava forte resistência entre vários setores da economia, além de ter integrado uma Medida Provisória (MP) editada pelo governo em junho e que foi devolvida pelo presidente do Senado, Rodrigo Pacheco. Leia: https://www.estadao.com.br/economia/camara-aprova-primeiro-projeto-corte-gastos-arcabouco-bloqueio-emendas/ O colunista também comenta como um grupo de 17 líderes de bancadas da Câmara dos Deputados enviou aos ministros Rui Costa (Casa Civil) e Alexandre Padilha (Secretaria de Relações Institucionais) um ofício no qual “apadrinham” R$ 4,2 bilhões em indicações de emendas de comissão.

En entrevista para MVS Noticias con Manuel López San Martín, Gabriel Guerra Castellanos, colaborador de MVS Noticias, habló sobre ¿hay pleitos en la 4T? ¿Hay una crisis interna en Morena? "Monreal y Adán Augusto regañados, el mensaje de la presidenta es lo que da después de un regaño, yo percibo sarcasmo, pero esto ni siquiera es lo más triste", comentó Guerra Castellanos, refiriéndose a las tensiones recientes dentro del partido. Además, subrayó que, a diferencia del PRD, donde los conflictos se basaban en ideologías, en Morena los problemas actuales son por "negocios, contratos, manejos de archivos", algo que considera una lucha por el poder a un nivel muy bajo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean for a suburb to be both liveable and affordable?  In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Juliet Helmke speaks with Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo, chief economist at PRD, to unpack the network's latest report in a series its been issuing for 10 years, that defines not only the suburbs with a below-average price point, but those that also offer high amenity. The duo discuss the market segments that have been gaining steam, and delve into how buyer preferences have been increasingly changing, with new attitudes to lifestyle set to define what's selling in 2025. Diaswati spotlights some of the surprising hotspots identified in the report across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and beyond.

Todos los escándalos de la gestión de Luis Abiander han tenido que ver con la ley de compras y contrataciones. En la mayoría de los casos se trata de intentos de saltarse procesos para favorecer a fulano y zutano. De hecho la mayoría de los funcionarios “desvinculados” del gobierno ha sido por eso. Pero ayer, el presidente de la República tuvo que pedir de nuevo al congreso de mayoría peremeista que saque tiempo para aprobar la modificación de la ley de compras que lleva meses varada a la espera del tiempo de los congresistas. Los honorables están muy apurados en conocer casos como la resolución para reconocer la extraordinaria trayectoria y el altruismo del Pachá que tiene cinco páginas y 17 considerandos. En un estado donde un Partido tiene el poder ejecutivo y el control absoluto del congreso habría que esperar que las iniciativas oficiales y las políticas que se impulsan discurren  sin ruidos. Eso no es lo que pasa en la RD y en el gobierno de Abinader. contrario al período de control absoluto del PLD cuando los presidentes Leonel Fernández y Danilo Medina decían sin empacho que tal o cual tema del Estado lo discutiría el comité político y así ocurría. Lo que el Comité Político aprobaba el congreso lo sellaba y duraron 16 años consecutivos en el poder y 20 de 24 años. Una generación completa de ciudadanos no conoció otro gobierno que el del CP del PLD. El PRM surgió de una crisis y su antecesor inmediato el PRD solo fue cohesionado por los liderazgos avasallantes de Bosch y Peña. Ahora no es diferente y desde ya hay gente más ocupada en promover proyectos presidenciales hacia el 28 que en cumplir con sus obligaciones. Ayer el asesor político dle presidente Mauricio de Vengoeche dijo que para el PRM no hay 28 si la segunda gestión de Abinader con termina bien. Eso no es noticia, lo sabe cualquiera que piense. La época en que desde el gobierno se podía conducir un proceso electoral terminó con el penco. O los peremeistas se ajuician o su presencia en el gobierno será un viaje corto. El gobierno no está en su mejor momento pero parece que no lo saben.

Adrian and Renaud discuss the Hardware Product Requirements Document (PRD) and the practicalities of developing successful hardware products. They explore the fundamental questions surrounding a PRD: what it is, why it's used, and the benefits it provides. They discuss how a PRD serves as a critical roadmap for project management, ensuring that all stakeholders—from industrial designers to engineers—are aligned on the product's specifications and target market. The hosts emphasize the importance of documenting every aspect of a product to avoid miscommunication and ensure a smooth manufacturing process. The episode includes a fascinating case study from the book "Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader" by Brent Schlender, Rick Tetzeli, and Mark Andreesen. This excerpt highlights the development of the iconic iPod and illustrates how Apple tackled product requirements and user interface challenges. Adrian and Renaud reflect on how Apple's iterative process and focus on user experience contributed to the iPod's groundbreaking success. Listeners will gain a comprehensive understanding of what happens during the early stages of product development, the importance of balancing creativity with structured documentation, and the role of a PRD in communicating with manufacturers. The hosts also provide guidance on what to include in a PRD, such as features, user demographics, and engineering specifications, tailored to different product needs.   Show Sections 00:00: Introduction and Topic Overview 03:20: Defining the PRD 06:15: Why a PRD Matters 11:45: Case Study: Apple's iPod Development 16:05: Challenges in Early Product Development 22:00: Developing the PRD in Stages 27:15: Structuring the PRD for Success 33:45: Final Thoughts and Advice for Teams   Related content...

Hace tres meses que formalmente La Vega no tiene alcalde tras la salida de su titular para ser ministro de Deportes y la renuncia forzada de la vicealcaldesa. Ayer la JCE dijo que estudia varias propuestas y el gobierno no ha podido dar respuesta al vacío legal en torno a la situación. Ayer varios profesionales consideraron que la doble designación de Carlos Pimentel genera un conflicto de intereses que está establecido en las disposiciones que crean las dos posiciones públicas que ahora ocupa en compras y contrataciones y Alianzas Público-privada. También ayer un grupo protestó por la designación del ex diputado Elías Báez, famoso por su post diciendo que estaba “Armao, bebío y con cuarto” en la dirección de defensa del afiliado de la seguridad social. Los críticos entienden que una persona que ha insistido en denostar a las mujeres no debe ocupar una posición como la DIDA. En varios medios aparece la renuncia de la economista Rosa Cañete hasta ahora viceministra de Economía, Planificación y Desarollo.  Hay problemas de recursos humanos o el presidente, que no lo tiene que saber todo, necesita asesores que verifiquen y eviten los entuertos. Y son los grandes y los pequeños. El retiro de la reforma fiscal y sus efectos tiene dividido al gobierno y la renuncia de Cañete puede ser parte de eso. Por suerte la economía crece o por lo menos eso dice el FMI en su informe de ayer en Washington porque el deterioro político se sobrelleva mejor o menos mal cuando no hay crisis económica. Desde ayer me están llegando audios del chisme que tiene el partido oficial en NY donde al parecer hay mucha gente aspirando a posiciones de gobierno. El PRM es un partido joven y viejo a la vez. Cuando lo fundaron sobre el registro de la Alianza Social Dominicana hace 10 años cargaba la vieja estructura del PRD y 16 años de oposición. Hay gente que se tiene que recoger y no lo entiende y la falta de contenido político hace el resto. Los síntomas están ahí, si no reconocen la enfermedad a tiempo es probable que el enfermo se agrave.

Remember how I was super stressed last week about stack-wise and the lack of movement on it?01:08.93AndrewMm hmm.01:10.11SeanSo I I put some more budget towards it, a little bit more, and just or like a ah you know mentally committed more budget to it.01:17.41AndrewCool.01:21.40SeanAnd checked out Lemon.io. a little bit more expensive than I think. We'll see. I don't know. I checked Alumni.01:29.78AndrewYeah, fair.01:30.22SeanI also went on Upwork to look for devs. Had some like interesting proposals come in. Then I was talking to a dev and He looked really promising. He was like 75 bucks an hour, is like about lemon I.O. prices. So and you know, he he like like takes supplements and and whatnot. So he has some realm of understanding. And then he hit me with a he'd so he reviewed the he reviewed the current code and everything. And then he hit me with a yeah, if you want me to like fully scope it, I'm going to need you to like actually give me user stories and like better Figma wireframes.02:10.35AndrewLike actually project manage and like build a scope and everything like via products manager.02:11.90SeanYeah, yeah, like actually do it. I know, I know. And then I was like, wow, that's really annoying. I guess that's kind of fair, I guess. um It's hard to so like really feel like I've put my foot best foot forward on this project without having done that. So I did it. I wrote a PRD. I wrote a bunch of user stories. I mean, I had one in the past that was like a loose bullet pointed list, but this was like a little bit more official.02:35.52AndrewYeah.02:37.13Seanand then I, and then I sort of wireframe, like rewire framing some stuff in Figma. and, uh, you know, that, that, that for a little bit was pushing back my timeline.02:48.31Seani have a day job which takes more time out of my which takes more than just my regular day so it's like ah like I got maybe like two screens into the fig into the Figma part and I was like damn I really don't want to go like do this all over again because like I have shitty wireframes right I don't um um uh and oh oh and and in the meantime like as as these guys were like reviewing it i i kind of felt a little bit uh like uh like like i don't know at a just like an informational disadvantage a little bit so03:24.97SeanI've also just watched a shit ton of Laravel tutorials and Laravel things. now now I kind of like mostly understand Laravel and PHP, not to a degree that I can write it, but to a degree that I can read it and know what's going on and and like and make edits and stuff.03:39.55AndrewMm hmm.03:42.17SeanSo, you know, I was able to kind of review the proposals a little bit better. That's been my last week until yesterday. And then I remembered that there is this thing I saw, which was a no code frontend React, like build at with tailwind components, or build with like like React components export as React code and tailwind. And it's called subframe, YC startup, super, super small. I don't know how small they are, but very small following.04:12.66SeanExcellent product. God, it's so good.04:15.69AndrewCool.04:15.54SeanAnd not only is it good, it feels like a mix between Figma and Webflow, except I'm kind of working with like components. And i if I want more components, I have to make more make them on my own.04:25.92SeanBut there's a long list of just basically subframe versions of Tailwind components.

Leonel Fernández anunció en NY, donde coincide en tiempo y espacio con el presidente Abinader, que ha creado un gobierno de la sombra. No creo que el oficialismo se asuste con el nombre escogido por el lider maestro y guía para su esquema de oposición política porque el discurso leonelista fundamentado en el que la segunda gestión de Abinader  “empezó de mala forma” y “no acierta en nada” cae como simple discurso opositor. Es más, cuando vi lo de gobierno de la sombra lo creí porque está firmado por la prestigiosa Agencia Francesa de Prensa. La propuesta de Leonel, técnicamente muy válida es tener un equipo técnico para cada área de gobierno que pueda entrarle a los posibles desaciertos del oficialismo. Eso no es novedad y quienes estuvimos por el Peledeismo ya sabemos que Bosch hizo lo mismo desde 1973 cuando salió del PRD. Aunque ninguno de los partidos opositores de ha dado cuerpo ni prioridad el gran handicap del gobierno y del partido oficial está ahora en la designación del alcalde de La Vega que debe ser hoy. La renuncia de Kelvin Cruz para optar por el ministerio de deportes, la renuncia de la vicealcaldesa presionada por los peremeistas que consideran el cabildo como un coto partidario habla una serie de errores políticos que ya pasarán factura. Lo que es peor, el candidato propuesto por el partido es un legislador lo que forzará a una nueva vacante, esta vez en la cámara de diputados. No importa lo que decida el presidente hoy es muy probable que el caso vaya al constitucional y en ese escenario el PRM pierde el control de la situación. La oposición lo sabe, tanto como sabe que en unas nuevas elecciones volverá a perder aunque están dispuestos y de acuerdo en judicializar un asunto electoral y lo harán porque el PRM y el gobierno le han dado la oportunidad. El asunto refleja una crisis en la renovación del liderazgo partidario que no es exclusiva de La Vega.  El PRM deviene de un partido envejecido, que perdió el contacto con la sociedad y no ha tenido tiempo de generar un liderazgo real.  La Vega es un síntoma ojalá que no se convierta en enfermedad.-

La presidenta del PRD, Rosario Robles, fracasa en su apuesta por lograr el 20 por ciento de la votación en las elecciones de ese año y es forzada a renunciar: deja a su partido en la zozobra por un boquete de cientos de millones de pesos; buena parte de ese adeudo es con Carlos Ahumada Kurtz, el constructor decidido a aumentar las presiones para cobrar su apoyo a candidatos perredistas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Todo el que ha vivido en la República Dominicana sabe que el PRM y su ascendiente inmediato el PRD nunca fueron organizaciones con una característica de cuerpo ni siquiera una visión común del Estado Dominicano. En algún momento esa visión del Estado la tuvieron sus líderes: Bosch y Peña Gómez y una intelectualidad que les acompañó siempre. El resto del partido era una asociación de intereses particulares que oscilaban en función de grupos que tenían mayor o menor  fuerza en determinados momentos.  Por eso se fue Bosch, por eso salieron del poder en el 86 y eso aceleró la muerte de Peña Gómez en el 98. Peña Gómez tuvo que asumir la candidatura a síndico de la capital en medio de una trifulca interna que si mal no recuerdo protagonizaban MVM y Tonty Rutinel. El tercero no lo recuerdo. La última vez que vi a Peña fue frente a mi casa materna en Nizao, dos o tres días antes de morir. Consciente de su sacrificio fue a la provincia Peravia a apoyar al candidato a senador Don Vicente Castillo uno de los pocos que fue fiel al principio no reeleccionista del lider. Si ustedes leen los diarios de hoy y las informaciones que desde ayer circulan en los digitales se dará cuenta que Abinader está en la misma posición que los líderes del PRD de los 80 y los 90.  El presidente intenta promover una reforma que pocos rechazan pero los legisladores de su partido no pueden ver más allá de sus propios intereses y son capaces de tirar por la borda el proyecto si no le sacan lo suyo.  Si usted analiza la composición de la comisión bicameral y conoce las intríngulis partidarias sabrá que tanto Pacheco como De los Santos introdujeron sus leales y por tanto se garantizan posibilidades de negociación. Su país y su partido son meros incidentes. Un cabo me ha dicho que cada uno pertenece a un “proyecto presidencial” diferente y que la comisión se integró con los representantes de los distintos proyectos más los socios seguros como los Genao padre e hijo que se dicen reformistas pero que en lo fundamental guardan lealtad al presupuesto general de la nación. La mayoría aplastante del PRM y sus socios deja a la oposición en condición de opinar y nada más y es muy probable que algunos peremeistas se asocian a los opositores para presionar en favor de sus intereses. En fin prepárese para muchas declaraciones, muchas reuniones, y mucha cáscara en los medios de comunicación. La verdad es que lo que sea que salga de la susodicha reforma será una negociación entre Luis Abinader y los chupasangre de su partido.
