@FletchPh This is fantastic. Have you done any data analysis on the permitting process? I started something similar (giving myself a lot of credit here) with the goal of identifying permit activity, delays, etc.

created a heat map to navigate the 20.4 million 311 complaints in NYC since 2020 you can sort by over 180 unique complaint types … where are rats an issue? How about mold or public urination or the illegal sale of animals? a lot of different threads to pull on in here

@t_NYC ha good question. the metadata includes info for status and resolution description but the descriptions tend to be boilerplate rather than detailed explanations of what took place

an imperfect but useful analogy is the media entertainment industry. Concentrated in Hollywood → social media democratizes access → influencers proliferate. Hollywood is still essential and invaluable for media entertainment but also over 11 million people in the US now make a living as full time creators (~2.5x the number of software engineers) and some of them have broken out to make life changing money. So…concentrated specialization in Silicon Valley → agentic coding democratizes access → new yet to be defined era of tech entrepreneurship

I heard an incredible analogy from a VC friend that I can’t stop thinking about. “The moat in software was the cost of building software. And Claude Code just mass produced a bridge.” It’s wild when you think about the impact of this. The SaaS boom produced a few dozen billionaires and a bunch of zero sum winners. But the AI SaaS era will mass produce millionaires. There will be fewer ServiceTitans hitting $5B valuations, and instead there will be 50,000 companies doing $500K-$5M each, run by 1-3 people with deep expertise and huge margins. To be clear, I believe that the total value of software goes up, and the number of companies created goes up exponentially. But the number of people who capture the value also goes up 100x. I don’t believe in the “SaaS is dying” headline, I think it’s missing the point. It’s simply that the power of SaaS is changing hands.

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter at all and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

@lay2000lbs Really strong frame. The trick is that the default for new asset classes has always been concentration so widely distributing ownership is a major design challenge.

Aesthetic convergence is a key ingredient of placelessness. When a global creative culture trains on the same visual dataset, differentiation flattens and the vernacular weakens.
