About this episode
Are we heading toward a bizarre future where your engineering salary is paid in AI compute tokens instead of cash? Andrew and Ben tackle the latest tech industry shakeups, starting with Meta's acquisition of Moltbook and the controversial idea of making inference limits a core employee benefit. They also break down Charlie Guo's harness engineering playbook, the growing pains behind recent AWS AI-driven outages, and the toxic pressure to constantly run dozens of autonomous agents. Finally, they wrap up by sharing their own agentic weekend projects and debating the catastrophic risks of vibe-coding your laptop's file permissions.Follow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's stories:Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensationThe Emerging "Harness Engineering" PlaybookMeta acquired Moltbook, the AI agent social network that went viral because of fake posts“A spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools”, right on scheduleEvery minute you aren't running 69 agents, you are falling behindOFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.
