Stephen Balaban says generating human code doesn't even make sense anymore. Software won't get written. It'll be prompted into existence and "behave like code." This is neural software: Every pixel generated, not rendered. Every function summoned. It'll feel like Star Trek.

I am very tired of this complete hype. We are nowhere near that point today. Persuade enough people otherwise and crash and burn into a new AI winter.

This is an insanely dumb take by someone who eithe (a) never actually write software or (b) sells AI cloud compute (well whadayaknow) I was implementing a non-trivial landing page design the other day and it’s hilarious how bad LLMs are even at that, let alone things like native

"In the future, you won't need any software at all. The neural network will completely replace it." - stephen balaban, co-founder of Lambda "Here's the idea: instead of generating a program, just go to ChatGPT and say, 'Hi, please behave like a calculator or a spreadsheet.'" "'Generate an ASCII user interface for me. And I want you to essentially just respond, implement the logic of that program in your mind.'" "This is what I call neural software. Normal software is really brittle. 'Neural software' can't have bugs, only misunderstandings." "Large language models will be the software you interact with."

“Software engineering is changing, and by the end of 2025, it's going to look fundamentally different.” OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman says Codex is a remote software agent that runs in parallel in your repo, and writes code like a teammate. The new model is optimized from o3 to produce mergeable, real-world code.

LIGHTS OUT! That is the future of software factories says @MVanHorn. The rules: no code to be written by humans, no code to be reviewed by humans. PERIOD! How long before we have software companies with human OUT of the loop?

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.

Cognition CEO Scott Wu says a quarter of Cognition's pull requests come from Devin -- and it'll be more than half by year-end. Each engineer runs up to five Devins at once. “Devin lets engineers go from bricklayer to architect.” The future of software isn't writing code -- it’s directing fleets of agents.

Jensen Huang says computing is no longer pre-recorded or pre-compiled. Traditional software like Excel ran the same for everyone now AI adapts to each user and moment. Every sound, pixel, and output is generated in real time based on context. This requires massively more compute, as software now thinks before it responds. It marks a fundamental shift: software isn’t static—it’s alive and reactive.
