Episode notes
Ship Libraries, Not Monolithic Apps
- Focus on building flexible libraries for engineers, not heavy bespoke apps.
- Give staff composable tools so they can stitch workflows together and iterate faster than chasing the final 5% of an app.
Martin's Stage Routine
- Martin joked this was his first time physically speaking on Bricks and Bytes despite prior online chats.
- His stage style moves from slow start to overrunning time as he warms up into long-form riffs.
AI Threatens Seat-Based Business Models
- AI + cloud will rapidly compress seat-based software markets by automating routine tasks.
- Vendors must rethink pricing and product strategy as fewer full-time authoring seats will be needed.
