Coding agents are no longer a distant idea—they're already starting to reshape how we work. YC's Tom Blomfield (Tom Blomfield) and David Lieb (David Lieb) discuss how AI coding tools are transforming software development, why small, high-agency teams will be able to do what once took armies of engineers, and why there's never been a better time to start something new. They explore the bigger picture too: a future where there's more abundance, knowledge work becomes more accessible, and founders have more leverage than ever before. If you're thinking about building, there's no better moment than right now. 0:00 - Intro 0:46 - The combine harvester argument for AI 02:23 - Building with no-code tools 5:37 - The arguments against AI coding 7:01 - Jevons Paradox 9:26 - What happens to the software jobs of today? 12:16 - How will these tools affect knowledge work? 15:08 - An abundant future 16:21 - Advice for future founders

We often see how AI empowers devs, but what is talked about much less is how AI turns creators into one-man blockbuster machines. That is what we find with filmmaker and editor Charles Curran who's AI Kino trailers have taken X by storm. From "The Titty Killer" to culturally relevant commentary, Charlie garnered tens of millions of views and have stroked strong opinions supporting and raging against his work. In this episode of The DeFi Dave Pod, I sat down with Charlie to gain insight into how he got here, what inspires his content, and where he sees the future of entertainment going with AI.

AI can’t yet one-shot an entire product—but with the rise of vibe coding, supercharged developers are getting close. Part intuition and experimentation, part validation, it's the new frontier of software development. YC's Tom Blomfield (Tom Blomfield) has spent the last month building side projects with tools like Claude Code, Windsurf, and Aqua, seeing just how far you can push modern LLMs. From writing full-stack apps to debugging with a single copy paste of an error message, AI is becoming a legit collaborator in the dev process. With tips from YC founders in the Spring batch, this is a playbook for anyone who wants to get the most out of vibe coding and build faster.
