TBPN

The New York Times called us "SportsCenter for the LinkedIn crowd." While Jordi and I don't really watch sports, we follow tech and business with that same energy. Grateful to Mike Isaac and for interviewing us to capture what we’re building at TBPN. We joke that tech news doesn't make it to LinkedIn until a week after we all talk about it on X, but if you want to help us close the gap to five days, sign up for TBPN's newsletter and watch technology's daily show live from 11am – 2pm PT: tbpn.com

Redpoint Managing Director Logan Bartlett says if there’s one thing that can save you from AI, it’s agency. Investment banking use to have a great VC talent pipeline, but now, Claude can do the modeling better, and faster, than most. Now, when VC’s hire, they don’t look for proficiency in remedial tasks. They’re looking for the ability to determine what’s worth doing without being told. Bartlett explains that entrepreneurs, PMs, and those with non-linear career paths exhibit this newly desirable trait, and that the traditional IB path (where 90% of your day is pre-filled by a staffer) actually hones the opposite muscle. And in a world where AI can handle the grunt work, the only thing left to train is the instinct to self-direct.

Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen says that AI is putting everyone’s job at risk, including his. Flexport has built an AI customs auditor that reviews their entries before submission to the government, and it’s decreased their error rate by 10x. He calls this the “giant wake-up call” that triggered a company-wide realization that AI agents could do most of the work humans do at the company. The message Petersen spreads through Flexport now is that this is the new reality of business. He says, “If you’re not at the head of the curve and learning how to use AI, how to automate work, how to make yourself more productive — let’s live in reality.” He also admits that he isn’t immune to these changes. If he isn’t able to lead Flexport through this shift (adopting AI, automating workflows, driving transformation, etc…), then someone else should be CEO.

Reddit, Inc. CEO Steve Huffman doesn’t think AI will replace software engineers. “These engineers are builders. What do you think they’re going to do — go home and sit on their hands? No. Now they’ll start companies of their own.” When AI gives someone an advantage, the outcome isn’t unemployment. Software engineers will simply redirect that advantage to become entrepreneurs themselves. Huffman’s view goes even further. He believes that we’re about to see an explosion of creativity and creation because everyone becomes a builder. AI lowers the barrier to creation so dramatically that people who were previously non-technical workers can now bring ideas to life. TBPN is technology's daily show, live weekdays at 11AM – 2PM PT.

Replit Founder and CEO Amjad Masad is trying to hire as many new grads as he can. And his advice for these young hires? Know that roles are collapsing. Masad has noticed a shift in the way his current team works. He sees designers and salespeople shipping code, engineers shipping design, and engineers doing sales. The boundaries of traditional titles are dissolving. So instead of assigning rigid job descriptions to specific roles, his vision for the future of work is to make everyone an entrepreneur. "The particular skill is not the bottleneck anymore. It is how ambitious you are, how generative you are, how creative you are, and how good you are at utilizing these tools.”
