Lenny Rachitsky: evaluation

Transcript context

…Yeah. And I mean, the other thing, which is I think really interesting, say you're not a manager. Let's say you're an IC. This is a really interesting way to think about your personal operating system. How do I remember what we did? Should I remember what we did every day? Do I have a list of who I'm working with and what their preferences are and how they like to communicate? Do I know what tools I have access to? If you just think about your own personal onboarding into an organization, maybe you just need to scaffold out some of the same things that you see here to give yourself a framework. Not that you couldn't do that organically, but the structure often helps. Maybe just as a final motivation to people that are like, "Okay, this all sounds wonderful, I got to go eat some dinner," Just to give people a sense of why this is important and worth their time in spite of all these other products launching, Jensen, the founder of Nvidia, just like the other day, he's just like, "Every company in the world needs to have a Claw strategy. " OpenClaw is the new computer. It's the fastest growing open source project in history. If you look at the chart, it's just absurd more than Linux. So there's something going on here, even if there are going to be simpler products, easier things that are easy to use. Maybe is there anything there you want to add too? I'll say what my personal experience was as somebody who has been thinking about AI for quite some time, so compelled by this moment in technology that I quit my fancy pants executive job to sit and marinate in this future of AI. And why I have these three Mac minis on my desk is because one Saturday I woke up and I turned to my husband, I said, "I'm having a ChatGPT moment." I'm having this, which I have not had since ChatGPT came out, which is this is going to change everything. Maybe not this specific instance of it, maybe not this specific repo, although the stars just keep going up and up and up, but I'm having this moment where my imagination has unlocked another level because of what I could predict and presume this sort of harness, this sort of product, this sort of experience can unlock if you take it as a given that things are going to improve. I'm truly having a moment with this, and I'm having that moment because it's so useful, personally useful. I'm having that moment because it's really inspiring me as an AI builder of what the next wave of products is going to look like. And I'm having a moment because this thing is not perfect, and it's open source, and it's a lot to maintain. And imagine in a year when it's not that. Whoever figures that out, I think is going to have something really special or maybe we'll all have something that we all run and lovingly craft at home, and that will be special too. So I will just say for folks, this has been one of those really intense moments where my eyes open and I think, "Wow, this is going to change my personal life and my professional life in a way I could not have predicted three years ago." And while I spend a lot of time in AI, I don't have those moments often.…
