Transcript context
…What's the next frontier? So, at this point, 100% of your code is being written by AI. This is, clearly, where everyone is going in software engineering. That felt like a crazy milestone. Now it's just like, "Of course. This is the world now." What's the next big shift to how software is written that either your team is already operating in or you think will head towards? I think something that's happening right now is Claude is starting to come up with ideas. So, Claude is looking for feedback. It's looking at bug reports. It's looking at telemetry, and things like this, and it's starting to come up with ideas for bug fixes, and things to ship. So, it's just starting to get a little more like a coworker or something like that. I think the second thing is we're starting to branch out of coding a little bit. So, I think, at this point, it's safe to say that coding is virtually solved. At least, for the kinds of programming that I do, it's just a solved problem, because Claude can do it. And so, now we're starting to think about, "Okay. What's next? What's beyond this?" There's a lot of things that are adjacent to coding, and I think this is [inaudible 00:18:35] becoming, but also just general to us. Like, I use Cowork every day now to do all sorts of things that are just not related to coding at all, and just to do it automatically. Like, for example, I had to pay a parking ticket the other day. I just had Cowork do it. All of my project management for the team, Cowork does all of it. It's, like, syncing stuff between spreadsheets, and messaging people on Slack, and email, and all this kind of stuff. So, I think the frontier is something like this. And I don't think it's coding, because I think coding, it's pretty much solved, and over the next few months, I think what we're going to see is just across the industry it's going to become increasingly solved for every kind of code base, every tech stack that people work on. This idea of helping you come up with what to work on is so interesting. A lot of people listening to this are product managers and they're probably sweating. How do you use Claude for this? Do you just talk to it? Is there anything clever you've come up with to help you use it to come up with what to build?…
