this makes sense to me. i remember hearing a story that decades ago it took an entire team of software engineers to support a single company’s bookkeeping. now one person can do that job with Excel. tools change. the need for creative problem solvers endures.
Been receiving lots of questions about this from folks who expect AI engineers to result in a wave of mass unemployment. I think the crux of the question is whether there can be such a thing as "too much code" in the world. As farming productivity skyrocketed in the last few

Want to learn what I wish I would’ve known when I started growing products? 👉 Join me and @kate_syuma tomorrow for a no-fluff webinar unpacking a handful of the approaches we’ve actually used to break through for products like Miro and Coda. https://t.co/4ZgLzXxGJ5

These artifacts were a blast to put together with the @reforge team. I pulled most of these examples from internal work that hasn’t been public… until now!
I’ve secretly 🤫 been using a new product every week that is now live for everyone. Today we are launching Reforge Artifacts and it’s completely free 🆓. Take a look 👇 Artifacts let you access the real work from those who have done it before, so you’ll never have to start

Trust me: You'll want to get in line for this. 🤯 Using AI + Coda has already saved me a massive amount of time. And I've already been floored by some of the ways I've seen it used with our building blocks.
Say hello to your new virtual assistant: Coda AI. ✨ Summarize meeting notes & transcripts in a snap. ✨ Quickly prep for customer calls. ✨ Whatever you dream up – it’s stackable with Coda’s other building blocks like tables, controls, text, & formulas. https://t.co/O2M6v6P7JZ

This peek into Coda’s product culture is worth a read.
The @Coda_hq product team has always stood out as one of the most thoughtful, deliberate, first-principled product culture out there. In part 2 of my series on how the best product teams build product, I interviewed @lshackleton on their approach to product. A few highlights:

Early in my career, I sucked at keeping up w/ people. I didn’t have a system. And personal CRMs never quite fit...or evolve with me. Instead, they reduce people down to LinkedIn profiles & transactional interactions. Here’s my take on a CRM that is a little more human.

4) The Sandman Deliciously weird, brooding, and magical. Neil Gaiman's winding graphic novel series follows a mythical Lord of Dreams in his journey to rebuild his kingdom after decades of imprisonment.

3) World War Z A hauntingly believable zombie story that doesn't hand-wave away all the details. You're constantly jumping to new first-person accounts from every corner of the world that feel lived-in.

1) Project Hail Mary Did you like The Martian? Then you'll love Andy Weir's attention to nerdy details and addictively propulsive survival story. Grab the audiobook if you can.

I used to *never* read fiction. But a handful of books broke through in 2022 (and they're some of my new all-time favorites. 🧵)

Same. 🤙
In Seattle for @coda_hq’s quarterly hackathon—workin on an idea to capture thoughts quickly without all of Coda’s power features. Really just designing this feature for myself.
