Episode notes
INSIGHT

AI Could Soon Do Most Software Engineering

  • Anthropic's Dario Amodei predicts models may do most software engineering end-to-end within 6–12 months.
  • That signals rapid acceleration toward AI-driven recursive improvement of code generation.
ADVICE

Adopt AI Coding Tools Early

  • Adopt the latest AI coding tools now to stay competitive because senior reviewers will expect AI-assisted outputs.
  • Use models to sprint, then let experienced engineers review and harden the work.
INSIGHT

Model Iterations Compound Capability

  • Faster model iterations (Opus/Claude/GPT families) will compound capabilities, especially in code generation.
  • Recursive self-improvement could create hockey-stick growth for AI software engineers.
