From one piece Chip Huyen: Building when it feels like there's nothing left to build - The Pragmatic Summit 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Which interface an AI product should have is a cultural fact, not a technical one — Vietnamese companies ship voice bots before chatbots because people are on motorbikes.

Their words

But in Vietnam and also in a lot of other Asian countries, people are on the move all the time. Like people are on the motorbike all the time. So, they actually really don't like typing. So, the voice like a lot of the companies in Vietnam actually deploy voice bots before they do uh do chatbot.

Anything a person can describe, AI can now produce — software has reached the point image generation reached with style.

Their words

if you can describe a style, AI can generate it. And the same with software. If you can describe a software, then AI can build it for you.

Because anyone can now rebuild whatever you make, the ordinary incentive to build software has been knocked out from under us.

Their words

I feel like now I can build anything I want. But at the same time, anyone can build anything I want. So, what is the incentive structure for me to do anything?

The lower a layer sits in the software stack, the harder it is for an individual developer to build in it.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
