AI is already transforming entire professions like software engineering and law. And accounting might be next. In this episode of The Breakdown, Tom Blomfield and David Lieb sat down with Onshore founder Dominic Vitucci to find out how AI is fundamentally changing one of the world’s oldest professions and what that could mean for the future of white collar work.

When the way software is built changes, we help companies adopt it. For over a decade, that meant bringing React Native to production across mobile, web, desktop, and TV. Now we are expanding that same mission to AI-native engineering: helping teams ship software with agents, safely and at scale. This is our new manifesto.

Vibe coding is causing the death of SaaS... Because we want better software: more features, more workflows, more EVERYTHING We're not happy with existing software, that's why we vibe code something ourselves. But what if... existing software came built-in with an AI vibe coding layer? If it did: that software can sell more, beat AI-first companies, and reduce churn. We've already proven this works - that's how we added $1,000,000 in sales and prevented $120,000 in churn for our Series B customers. Gigacatalyst embeds a vibe coding layer inside your software. See how it works: If you could improve any daily software that you use, what would you change?

Stripe's John Collison thinks people who think AI means the death of software engineering are "all high, honestly." "All these people calling the death of software engineering are smoking something." "You're able to work with AI so much better if you understand the underlying concepts, and you're so much better prepared for that." "To be really effective working with AI, you need to understand what it's doing, and what's going on under the hood. You need to understand the model, and the memory. And then you have your harnesses, and you've got your skills, and how they all interact."

Software for Agents Aaron Epstein The next trillion users on the internet won't be people. They'll be AI agents, and they're already doing real work on top of software that was designed for humans clicking buttons. Every major category of software needs to be rebuilt for agents as first-class citizens, and that won't come from incumbents.

Traditional coding benchmarks do not reflect how software is actually built and maintained. That's why we built a new benchmark, APEX-SWE, in partnership with Cognition. It measures whether AI models can perform complex, real-world software engineering work to ship systems that work and debug them when they don't. OpenAI GPT 5.3 Codex (High) tops the leaderboard at 41.5% on Pass@1.

Scott Wu says Karpathy's idea of jagged intelligence explains why humans and AI work best together. AI is superhuman at some tasks, shockingly weak at others. “As long as that tail exists of what humans can do, that's what we'll own.” We still decide what to build. In the end, software engineering is just telling the computer what to do.

“AI is changing the value prop of software.” We spoke with Metronome CEO Scott Woody about why AI requires a new business model. “In the cloud era…the value of the software scales as your org scales.” “In AI, the software is now doing work on your behalf…so the core value of the software is not who in my org has access to the data, it's what can this software do for me? When the value shifts from access to output, the business model has to follow.

Jensen Huang just said this is the greatest era in history to build software. AI agents will not kill software. They will do the exact opposite: create a massive new wave of software demand. at NVIDIA GTC Taipei 2026 "Click and type. We now replace that with explaining to the AI what we want, our intent, and the AI generates the code or uses tools to produce the necessary output. This is how computers are going to work in the future. This is Agentic AI. For two years, we've been building toward this, and now it has arrived. One of the big breakthroughs, of course, is tool use. A lot of people have said, “Jensen, AI is coming. Agentic AI is coming. Therefore, all the software companies are going to go out of business.” This is exactly the opposite. Because there are going to be so many agents, the world is no longer limited by the number of people. Therefore, those agents are going to use more tools than ever. This is actually an incredible time to be a software company. But the software has to be presented to the agent in a way that the agent can use it. This is a big breakthrough. And in fact, what we have done, as you know, what Nvidia’s treasure..." ---- From 'NVIDIA' YT channel (link in comment)
