As a founder, one additional task for me is keeping up with the rapid advancement of AI and what the future holds—both internally and externally. The pace of advancement is skyrocketing. This is unfolding even more rapidly than the open-source cloud wars, the PaaS wars, or the evolution of DevOps tools. I’m not sure who the ultimate winner will be or what standards will emerge, but it’s keeping all of us on our toes.
Early signs suggest that many automation and low-level coding tasks are being replaced. At the same time, areas like content, marketing, legal, and finance are experiencing a major upheaval.
I believe the way we use software is going to change dramatically. We’re already seeing people turn to ChatGPT and similar tools instead of Google or Bing for search.
Will we still need SaaS platforms, web apps, mobile apps, or Alexa-like interfaces? Or will everything consolidate into a unified LLM prompt? Does this mean we’ll no longer need to invest heavily in front-end development?
It seems like every piece of software might eventually evolve into an assistant, operating primarily through voice.
