Automation is a lie. CLIs are over. The SaaSpocalypse is dumb.
A year ago @danshipper came on the podcast to predict where AI was heading. He was remarkably right—including the call that everyone was sleeping on Claude Code.
Dan has a unique lens into where things are going because his team at @every is possibly the most AI-pilled group of people in tech. I always learn a ton talking to Dan.
So I brought him back for round two. We’ll score these in exactly a year: Every company will have one “super-agent” in Slack. Codex and Claude Code will become the new operating system for knowledge work. The AI job apocalypse is not happening. PMs and designers will thrive. We will read way more AI-generated writing and we will like it. “I would buy SaaS stocks right now.”
