Can You Build Anything in a Week? GPUs, Code Gen, and the End of Engineers - With Harper Reed
Becca just got back from NeurIPS, the academic AI conference that feels like an adult science fair. We dig into research on training large AI models across cheap GPUs and slow internet connections—and why that could dramatically lower the barrier to building AI.
Then we’re joined by Harper Reed, CEO of 2389, for a wide-ranging conversation about code generation, coaching-based engineering teams, and why “production code” might have always been a myth. We talk vibe coding (begrudgingly), the shifting role of software engineers, taste vs. technical skill, and what happens when you can build…
