Go ahead, hit the wall and turn.

Go ahead, hit the wall and turn.

• There’s a difference of opinion between those who see this “run into a wall before” and those who see it “after” hitting the wall.

• Makes it easier to go in a certain direction.
• We’re going in that direction.
• Proceed to touch constraints that are not currently affected
• change direction

For example, LLMs make programming easier.

• Programmers increase as barriers to entry are lowered and the customer value generated per person increases.
  • Because right now there are too many “problems to solve” and not enough programmers.
  • This “supply of problems to be solved” is the “constraint.”
• If the number of programmers increases sufficiently, the “supply of problems to solve” will replace the bottleneck.
  • Before this timing, it was “we found a problem to solve, but we didn’t have enough people to actually turn it into code, so we couldn’t demonstrate much value.
    • As programmers begin to be in surplus, the value of “finding a problem to solve” rises as prices begin to fall.
  • Insufficient supply of problems will lead to a surplus of programmers.
    • More and more cuts are being made on the low-skilled side.

• After you hit the wall, the value of your ability to understand physical phenomena will jump, from a common sense point of view.

• When one bottleneck is eliminated, another bottleneck arises.
