Cursor CEO Michael Truell: Programming in the future might not mean programming with an AI helper, but in a new language entirely. "There is a future version of the world where the way you interact with AI is a little bit less like it's a human helper that you're...

Cursor CEO Michael Truell on the future of writing code: “ Our goal with Cursor is to invent a new type of programming.” “It looks like a world where you have a representation of the logic of your software that does look more like English.” “You can imagine kind of an evolution of programming language towards pseudocode. You have written down the logic of the software, and you can edit that at a high level.” “It won't be the impenetrable millions of lines of code, it'll instead be something that's much terser and easier to understand and easier to navigate.” Source: Michael Truell (CEO Cursor) with Lenny Rachitsky on Lenny's Podcast

Michael Truell (Michael Truell), CEO and co-founder of Cursor, on what comes *after* code: Our goal with Cursor is to invent a new type of programming. A method of building software that's legions higher-level, more productive, and more accessible. This process will be a gradual moving away from what building software looks like today. A world after code. I think it looks like a world where you have a representation of the logic of your software that looks more like English. An evolution towards pseudo-code. You'll write the logic of the software, and you'll be able to edit it at a high level. It won't be an impenetrable million lines of code. It'll instead be something that's easier to understand. These crazy hard-to-understand symbols of computer code start to evolve towards something that's a little bit more human-readable, and human-editable. This is what we're working towards.

A vocal coach's reaction to Taehyung's vocal performance on SWIM.💜 “V’s voice was introduced there. Like you can immediately hear the warmth coming in. right there. A little restriction on the "i just wanna dive" He is little fry in it, but it's more restrictive. Really good utilization of V voice there. It just stands out beautifully. He is so recognizable. Like right when you hear V somewhere, you are like that's V. Does undeniably V like you can like immediately spot. It’s not just because how literally cute his english is, but because his voice has a little bit of earthiness in it that just unmistakable. also did a little bit of a fing. "Water falling off your skin" here's a little bit of that poutiness "Swim, Swim". A little poutiness there.”

Marc Andreessen says in the future, we may not have programming languages or even user interfaces: "I kind of think that in 10 years, I'm not sure there will even be a salient concept of a programming language in the way that we understand it today." "If you project forward, you have to think forward to a world in which it's just—I'm going to tell the thing what I need, and it's going to do it in whatever way is most optimal." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with Latent.Space

Sanders: I'll tell you it was a little bit mind-blowing. It is amazingly easy to start seeing this entity, this AI agent, or call it what you might, as a human being. And please remember importantly, AI is only going to get more and more effective in years to come . It's only a relatively few years old.

"The world was built by people that are not much smarter than you." Replit CEO Amjad Masad on why old career advice no longer maps to reality: "There are a lot of rules that are accidental, that are there for historical reasons." "Your job is to find the path to the future. Find the way of doing things that's most aligned with where the world is headed." "It's not about cheating, it's about figuring out how the system is rigged against you. How do you actually hack it? How do you get past it?" "AI is a great tool for that." "If you're someone who just understands how these tools work, and understand how you have an amazing time advantage. You can do things a lot faster." "There are a lot of programmers that are still doing programming the old way, and they're going very, very slow... until they get obsoleted." Amjad Masad with jack neel

What is the archetype Palantir looks for in forward deployed engineers? a16z's Erin Price-Wright asked Palantir Chief Architect Akshay Krishnaswamy: "One is some sort of interesting cross-functional persona. Someone was a physicist, but now wants to do this." "There’s a little bit of 'I need to prove to myself, to the world, that this outcome should happen, and also that I can do it.'" "It's a bit of a chip on the shoulder. It's a bit of a thumos in them." Akshay Krishnaswamy Erin Price-Wright

Louis Tomlinson about pranking people! “Um, there's one, there's one that I can't go into 'cause um, no, I don't even want to say anything. The other person is still quite upset about it. Oh, wow. Um, I was, before I remembered that, I would say I kind of grown out of that stuff, but I haven't, truth be told, especially once you've had a bit of a drink. You know, you seem to think everything's really, really funny, especially if you've got a group that are going to laugh along with you, you know. Um, but I'd like to say it's a little bit, it's a little bit more sensible on tour. It's just occasionally. I think when it's, it's, it's a byproduct sometimes of tour is really exciting, right? But most days are quite similar. You wake up at a similar time, then you go into the dressing room, and you go and put the show. So, there is a little bit of monotony. That's when the pranks kind of come in, I suppose. Yeah. But I, I'd like to say I'm getting a bit better. There's certainly someone out there that disagree with me, but I'd like to say I'm getting a bit better. “

"I think Elon Musk is the greatest living American. I think he is one of the only people in the world actively trying to build a future. For too long, people on the Right have sort of given up on the idea of a future. We've become a little bit black-pilled, a little bit nihilistic, a little bit conspiratorial, and afraid that tomorrow must be worse than today... Elon doesn't subscribe to that at all. He not only believes that America's best days are ahead of it, he's actively working to make that happen. And that is what you want in the government." Jeremy Boreing

Brad Marchand with a very insightful answer when asked about the Panthers handling the absence of Aleksander Barkov: “He’s the best two-way player in the game. You can’t replace that. But, collectively as a group, you just try to all pick up a little piece of that and try a little bit harder, try to fill in where you can, and hopefully as a group, you can come together.”
