Anthropic Engineers Don't Code Anymore

0:00You said that AI implementation is a business that you'd recommend. Yes. Should I learn to code for it or just skip the basics and go all in on cloud? I see these as like um happy to glads. Uh a lot of like so in Anthropic right now, and so this is a little bit of hearsay. Um per my understanding, none of them have hands-on keyboard. So none of them are actually coding. Everyone has swarms of agents that are they have 20, 30, 50 agents at a time that are doing their coding and they're basically full-time in project management code review.

0:30That's all they're doing, and that's why they're shipping so much stuff so fast. And so um if you you kind of can skip over that that chunk of time right now. Um and the nice thing is that AI is the first product that has ever existed that will teach you how to use it. You just say, "How do I use you? What do I do now?" Um and so yes, I think that is AI implementation is a great business that I'd recommend. Um and I wouldn't even think about what's my vehicle.

0:57Start with the problem. What customer do you want to serve? What problem do you want to solve? Go solve that problem. Elon has this great story about this, which is like if you're like, "I want to learn to code." That's very hard. It's like saying, uh "This is what a wrench does." and then explaining what a wrench does. It's much more useful to say, "Hey, let's open up the hood of this engine." And then they're like, "Well, how do I open the hood of the engine?" You're like, "You need a wrench." And now the utility of the tool has a purpose and a reinforce that's attached to it. And so if you want to start with the business owner, start with the problem, and then try and solve the problem, and then you will learn tools in a contextually relevant way, which will actually make it useful and you actually learn it. If you're a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So my team and I put together the $100 million scaling roadmap, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly, where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so we broke it in these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so, I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can book a call with my team and we will look at the business, see if we can help, and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
