@matsonj I feel like this fits in. I've been conceptualizing "root nodes" as like AWS, in that it owns the servers, or Snowflake, because it can fit all your data. But this makes me wonder if a network is a different node type or essentially "irreducable infra" x.com/ivanburazin/st…

Agents won't vibe-code a new Slack every time they need to communicate. They'll use the same Slack because the other agent's team also uses Slack. Traditional SaaS will survive because standards don't get disrupted by probabilistic code generation. Network effects and standardization still matter.

Codenames is such a cool idea for a benchmark. Someone should bring that back.

Oh right, I forget other people aren't in my head. My framing is that SaaS/data is a multi-layered tree with infrastructure providers at the top and direct interfaces with end users at the bottom. IMO those two layers will persist, but then all interior nodes will get compressed and have to fight it out by either consuming other layers around them or moving to either the root or the leaves.

@matsonj @tayloramurphy Keeping a todo list and being religious about adding to it to the point where it’s annoying can help a bit

OR: No sales tax state, all the data centers and Fabs are built here WA: no income tax, has all the tech bros running them. Politicians: What if we destroyed this great synergy?

i like on diners, drive-ins, & dives when guy fieri says something like “the turkey was banger, but the pastrami was legit” as if there is an existing sliding scale of meat adjectives on which we all universally agree
