We are opening up a new role at Quora: a single engineer who will use AI to automate manual work across the company and increase employee productivity. I will work closely with this person.

It's difficult to describe how fun and powerful vibe coding is. The new Claude Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 have been a complete game changer. I literally don't program anymore. The code the AI writes is extremely good. Features that would take weeks I can now do in days.

Replit CEO @amasad says they cut headcount by nearly half... while revenue grew 10x. "AI isn’t replacing engineers. It’s supercharging them."

Optimizing AI agents requires writing down the valuable institutional knowledge in your company. Big co’s will struggle with this: middle managers worry about becoming replaceable and leaders worry about leaks. If they don’t do it, they’ll be crushed by competitors who do.

Builders treat *time saved* as their P&L. Anything <10x ROI in minutes vs. manual work gets scrapped. Ruthless, but that’s how you bend the curve.

If you've created a clever AI prompt or workflow—whether for hiring, product research, anything —reply here. I’m compiling the most useful ones (with credit) for next week's edition of The DeBrief.

What’s the most creative way you’ve used AI at work? I’d love to learn from what you’ve built.
