Code Is Now Abundant, What Actually Matters Next

AI tools are getting insanely powerful and incredibly cheap… and also keep breaking right when you need them most.

In this episode, we unpack what it really feels like to live at the edge of AI right now, when your daily work depends on Gemini, Opus, Claude, and new skills, yet the real bottlenecks have quietly shifted to compute, energy, distribution, and human experience.

You’ll hear a wild story of Gemini 3 helping debug a 5,000-line, non-standard XML system from 2007, why “code is now abundant,” how data centers are turning tech companies into de facto energy companies, and why the real opportunity might be in micro-factories, robotics, and the experience economy instead of yet another generic SaaS.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it’s like when your mood depends on AI uptime
• How Gemini 3 solved a one-off integration with only a single manual
• Why cost per token collapsing change what you can prototype
• Skills and agents that scrape the web smarter than traditional tools
• Big tech becoming energy companies and what that means for AI
• Robots, drones, and micro-factories as the next wave of opportunity
• “Code is abundant”, and where the real leverage shifts now
• Why small businesses face both huge upside and brutal competition
• How AI is making work more solitary and experiences more valuable
• The experience economy, run clubs, tennis clubs, and the “new church.”
• Power BI, Power Apps, Fabric, and Microsoft’s AI branding missteps
• Why education should focus on orchestration, not button-click tutorials

If you want to understand where AI, energy, robotics, and human experience are all colliding, and what that means for builders, analysts, and founders, this episode is for you.
