The enterprise AI switch has flipped! I loved jamming w/ Ben Scharfstein who is as sharp as they come on building complex AI for the enterprise. He runs product for one of the best kept secrets in SV - the Scale AI Enterprise Applications Business - which has been a remarkable success over the past ~12 months. He shared some of his key learnings from the Scale Enterprise journey - notably how to sell+implement massive deals, what it’s like building forward deployed teams from scratch, and how delivering complex products & services is changing at the enterprise. I had a ton of fun and hope you enjoy this ep as much as I did.

At first, prompting seemed to be a temporary workaround for getting the most out of large language models. But over time, it's become critical to the way we interact with AI. On the Lightcone Podcast, Garry, Harj, Diana, and Jared break down what they've learned from working with hundreds of founders building with LLMs: why prompting still matters, where it breaks down, and how teams are making it more reliable in production. They share real examples of prompts that failed, how companies are testing for quality, and what the best teams are doing to make LLM outputs useful and predictable. 0:58 - Parahelp’s prompt example 4:59 - Different types of prompts 6:51 - Metaprompting 7:58 - Using examples 12:10 - Some tricks for longer prompts 14:18 - Findings on evals 17:25 - Every founder has become a forward-deployed engineer (FDE) 23:18 - Vertical AI agents are closing big deals with the FDE model 26:13 - The personalities of the different LLMs 27:26 - Lessons from rubrics 29:47 - Kaizen and the art of communication

OpenAI’s “The Deployment Company” is stealing clients’ IP and selling it to their competitors. This used to be a conspiracy theory. It’s not anymore. Watch this clip of OpenAI’s Head of Forward Deployed Engineering (speaking at South Park Commons). He says it directly: FDE service revenue doesn’t matter to OpenAI. Only Recurring Revenue from product does. To turn FDE engagement into product, OpenAI needs three things: 1. Subject matter expertise 2. Context to train on 3. Engineering And clients are paying OpenAI for them to get all three. OpenAI’s FDE clients don’t matter to them. They’re just a data source. Indie FDE agencies, on the other hand, obsess over clients because that is their business model. There isn’t a backend offer. Indie FDE agencies make money from happy clients. The Deployment Company makes money when shoplift clients’ data. Incentives matter. Hire Indie FDEs.

We are announcing potpie AI $2.2M pre-seed fundraise to advance Spec-Driven Development for large enterprise codebases. The round is led by Emergent Ventures , with participation from All In Capital , DeVC , and PointOne Capital , along with the support of some amazing angel investors from companies including Atlassian, OpenAI, Meta, Razorpay and Flobiz. As AI accelerates code generation, the constraint inside large enterprises has shifted from coding to maintenance and assurance. The limiting factor is no longer writing code, but understanding complex systems, aligning teams around intent, and safely evolving large, interdependent codebases. In most organizations, specifications exist as static documents, while production systems evolve independently. Context is fragmented across repositories, tickets, logs, reviews, and floating documents making reliable AI adoption difficult. We are building the foundational layer that makes Spec-Driven Development executable at scale. By unifying engineering context and operationalizing the spec as a structured source of truth, we enable AI systems to reason with architectural awareness rather than surface-level code completion. We are already working with large enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 organizations. This milestone allows us to deepen those partnerships and support more teams transitioning from experimental AI usage to structured, production-grade AI-first engineering workflows. If you are leading engineering at scale and evaluating how AI should integrate into mission-critical systems, we would love to chat with you!
