Steve Yegge
Having you at Arkana gave our engineering team a massive boost and the energy hasn't worn off.
I have been writing code for forty years: first with assembly, then with high-level languages, then with AI. My 35 years in the tech industry includes almost two decades split between Amazon (1998-2005) and Google (2005-2017).
I've also been writing about code, and the industry in general, since 2004. My writing has impacted companies, boardrooms, entire generations of programmers. My essays may not all be great, or even good, or even readable. But I've got some bangers in there.
Today, with Gas Town, Beads, and Gas City, I am exploring what the future looks like with multi-agent and orchestration.
