Lenny Rachitsky Rejects Permanent Underclass Narrative

Lenny Rachitsky posted on X about a conversation with Anish Acharya, a general partner at a16z. Acharya stated that by almost every measure things have never been better and that the job-loss story has not played out as predicted. He noted radiologists were said to be cooked for twenty years yet demand keeps rising. The exchange also covered decentralization in the current product cycle, company building as a series of loops, and climbing an ambition ladder by shipping ideas.
