Am I being gaslit or is this guest on Lenny’s podcast just talking out of his ass?

Dan Shipper, CEO of Every, claims their entire company runs AI-first: 15 people, zero engineers writing code, a daily AI newsletter, a consulting business, and AI agents doing literally everything: sounds more like the typical AI tech bro grift.

I work at a successful accounting startup that uses AI extensively, but we’re not handing off full dev work to Claude and hoping for the best. Am I missing something?

oh wow that's crazy

Amazon said that their in person stores were running off of electronic tracking or AI, it ended up being a huge population from India watching you shop.

Most ai crazy companies bring humans back into the process after 6 months. The downside is that they lost all that institutional knowledge with those crazy layoffs.

yeah, it's a little insane to think they lied about something so big

Sounds like the “content consulting” is paying the bills, and everything else is just typical tech incubator “bets”. They only need 1 of 20 or 30 ideas to be successful to pay the bills, and 1 of 100 to be a smash hit to be worth it.
