Sneak peak: We’re rolling out a Fan Edits tool to a few customers for beta testing. Fan edits are insanely viral, but surprisingly hard for most fans to make. You have to find clips, download footage, cut videos, and assemble the edit. Basically the job of a digital archivist. We’re making it easy for every fan to create endless edits. And brands can now provide curated media libraries to their top fans and reward them for creating. DM for early access!

This article tries to explain the current software engineering hiring boom in some targeted areas to the Jevons Paradox. "The same pattern repeated with computing. Cheaper transistors didn’t mean fewer transistors. We put computers in everything. Cheaper bandwidth didn’t mean less data consumed. We invented streaming video and TikTok. Now apply this to software development." When AI makes software 10X cheaper to build, companies don't immediately fire people, they just build 10X more software! While the AI writes the basic code, the demand for human engineers to review it and build large systems is higher than ever. "Germany tells the same story from the employer side. The Bitkom 2025 study (855 companies surveyed) found 109,000 unfilled IT positions. Down from 149,000 in 2023, but 79% of companies expect the shortage to worsen. And here’s the Jevons signal: 42% anticipate needing additional IT specialists specifically because of AI adoption." ----- turingcollege .com/blog/will-ai-replace-software-engineers
