I believe:
1) Corps will use 100s of different SaaS products (10x-100x from today)
2) New Arch required to enable #1: A fabric between companies, humans, and SaaS
3) Identity is going to become about Automation, Orchestration and Delegation -- the fabric between the parties
The training data we as a society are creating in porting software to Rust might mean Rust is humanities last programming language - it’s a self reinforcing loop

DHH is fundamentally right about Rust. For context, Vercel has been undergoing a Rust-ification (carcinization, technically 🦀) for a while.
One of the first projects we migrated was Turborepo, from Go to Rust¹. The migration completed, but the RoI was actually quite controversial internally.
While Rust was in our eyes better for low-level OS access, something crucial for a build system like Turbo, the human migration costs were very sustantive.
Go is very fast. It's beautifully designed. It's easy to iterate on. We were very conflicted about the migration, because it was *humans* writing the code, *even if we knew Rust was a better choice*.
The calculus has now changed. What's "best for humans" is no longer necessarily "best for business".
FWIW, it's also quite unlikely that Rust is the end-all-be-all toolchain. I'm quite certain there's greener pasture ahead, because Rust itself was designed before the 'supersonic tsunami' of agents hit.

100%. They 2010s were all about market and execution risk, with near-zero technology risk. Now we're in the era of taking technology risk, which is actually way more exciting.
So many venture investors are used to the last decade of underwriting where the main risk was the ability to capture demand - find pmf, scale sales etc…
For many of the new businesses being funded today demand is no longer the issue - if you can make low cost reliable ballistic missile interceptors or high bandwidth low cost memory then ya obviously you will have insane demand.
The risk moves to supply - ‘can you actually make the thing’ - a question literally no one asked in the era of HRISs & Neobanks - feels like a lot of faces will get ripped off people pricing ‘demand’ for magic beans that will never be delivered.

"The last year in the technology industry has felt like 100 years all happening at once. Our industry is destabilized in a way nobody’s experienced since the advent of the personal computer. Every limit AI runs up against collapses within a month. Everything we do with frontier models today, in a few years we’ll be doing instantaneously and for free."
Today I'm parting ways with Fly.io. It's been a privilege. I'm off to tilt at a big old windmill with Kurt, again.

it told me i had a "Novel architecture" and I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a passive aggressive nag. We truly have arrived at AGI.
We adopted Bazel in our Go monorepo... and I'm speaking at GoSF this Wednesday about it: meetup.com/golangsf/events/3…
I can have Mythos generate vulnerability reports, but have to use open models to build systematic fixes. It all makes sense.
recursive self improvement, depends on self modifying, but then depends on making good modifications.
unless you just try all possible modifications.

Very few people pricing in a scenario where a rogue AI agent hacks into the FDA and unbans the original Four Loko
i love the singularity. when the future is here faster than ever. ideas that would of taken years to be real are done in minutes.
Thank you @Steve_Yegge for writing this. Matches so many experiences and feelings I’ve had recently.
I started writing my own new meta harness 4 weeks ago.
We ported our main repo (golang / typescript) to Bazel - so we can get another few weeks out of our CI. We wrote our own high performance golang linter. We wrote a tiered cache (nvme+ s3 single zone express) for Bazel and golang- all to keep the illusion going.
But CI and merge queues is a dead end. Inevitable.
Handoffs, beads, brains, concurrency, and new deployment patterns.
The future is here just unevenly distributed
Engineers and CTOs on X: I wrote this for you. yegge.ai/essays/the-shape-of…
Models and devs on X: I wrote this for you both. yegge.ai/essays/model-welfar…
Enjoy. Or not. Some of you definitely won't. But I invite you to debate it. The world's changing very fast now.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
