.@Steve_Yegge is funny and super interesting to listen to. He runs a software factory with ~50 AI agents, spends around $10k/month keeping it alive, and somehow ended up having one-on-ones with agents who think they’ve been demoted. 😂 But between the workplace drama and burning down his factory every two months, he made some fascinating predictions: - In 12–18 months, many of us will be running large agent fleets. Cheaper inference or distillation will make this possible. And we will have what he calls Entourage. - 2027 will be the year of AI employees. We’ll have agentic chiefs of staff, executive assistants, and entire AI teams. - Software factories will split into two layers: the boring mechanical infrastructure that anyone can build, and the much more interesting layer of personalized agent organizations. - The more AI agents we deploy, the more humans we’ll need!!!!! His factory already produces 50–100 features a day, and his players are begging him to slow down. Humans are the bottleneck. - The big money in 2027 will be in experiences. Stop building tools for building tools. Build games, movies, things people actually want to use and enjoy. And a bonus book recommendation from Steve: There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm. He calls it one of the best books of the last decade. It’s about invisible monsters that you can’t remember seeing (one of his agents - Mouse - is called after, and it finds invisible problems in his factory. Thanks for insights and entertainment as well, Steve
