I sit down with Anish Acharya, Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, for a wide-ranging conversation on what it actually feels like to build with AI right now - and why almost nobody outside of tech understands what's happening. We get into: why I dropped out of computer science but now code 11 hours a day, the personal injury lawyer who won the global Claude Code hackathon, whether early-stage venture capital is dead, a company that cut $80K/month in SaaS by building everything in-house, why consumer moats still matter even when software doesn't, my failed attempt to get AI to settle my marriage arguments, the Wolverine peptide protocol, and Anish's prediction that America will back into the 4-day work week through sheer technological force - exactly the way it solved obesity with Ozempic instead of eating less sugar.
