Automation is a lie. CLIs are over. The SaaSpocalypse is dumb.

A year ago @danshipper came on the podcast to predict where AI was heading. He was remarkably right—including the call that everyone was sleeping on Claude Code.

Dan has a unique lens into where things are going because his team at @every is possibly the most AI-pilled group of people in tech. I always learn a ton talking to Dan.

So I brought him back for round two. We'll score these in exactly a year: 🔸 Every company will have one “super-agent” in Slack. 🔸 Codex and Claude Code will become the new operating system for knowledge work. 🔸 The AI job apocalypse is not happening. 🔸 PMs and designers will thrive. 🔸 We will read way more AI-generated writing and we will like it. 🔸 "I would buy SaaS stocks right now."

.@danshipper: "I would buy SaaS stocks right now. SaaS stocks will be up majorly in the next couple of years."

If you read my essay After Automation this is the interview where I make practical predictions about what it means for your work:
