I think its easy to say 'Simulation is a new scaling law' and treat it as marketing hyperbole, but midway along this interview you can hear me go from somewhat shitposting to very very serious. I am 2

it was a blast covering Build Fest this year - they didnt know this but I learned to code with MongoDB over 10 years ago (shoutout MERN stack) and now in the AI Engineering era seeing SF builders redi
