This week, I learned:
- WebApps are a depreciated store of value. Earlier, a web-app would have impressed me because the capability to create it is rare, and the effort to create it is high. Today, when I see a “localhost:3000” or a “replit.app” domain, I mentally discount the effort behind it and ask: How rare is the capability to create this with a coding agent and how much effort is it. THAT determines the value of what I see. Part of the value is “Look ma, no hands!” and it’s delightful they’ve learnt. Part of the value is “There’s gold in them thar hills!” and use-case discovery is important.
- WaveCity is a WASM build of Audacity, i.e. Audacity running in the browser! Audiomass is a similar but simpler audio editor - again, WASM-based. Gemini
Questions I was asked
- Question: What do you think of serious gaming for AI education?
Answer: Huge potential, AI will accelerate it, there will be false starts, and it will likely end up in a niche - but like gaming itself, a massive niche. - Question: How do we create a billion dollar business with AI?
- Question: Won’t AI degrade skills?
Answer: Yes, but some of those might not matter. - Question: You’ve mastered delegating work to the AI assistant - how?
Answer: When you tell people nobody gets it, when you show them some get it, when they do it they get it - get people to share screens and do exercises. - Question: How do I choose between Claude and ChatGPT/Codex for a task?
Answer: Codex for rigorous verification; Claude for strategy and high-level thinking; Gemini for simpler, conversational answers.
