About Claude - The SaaSpocalypse

Episode 25

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 • Duration 14:04

SHOW NOTES

Three weeks ago, Anthropic's legal plugin wiped billions from legal software stocks. Last Friday, Claude Code Security did the same to cybersecurity. In between: $2 trillion erased from the entire software sector. We examine the "SaaSpocalypse" — the panic narrative, the counter-narrative, and why both sides might be missing the thing that's actually changed: the shocks keep coming faster.

**In this episode:**

- JPMorgan's "$2 trillion" figure and the largest non-recessionary software drawdown in 30 years

- The seat compression mechanism: why AI doesn't need to replace software to gut its revenue model

- Spotify's "Honk" system and the engineer shipping production code from the bus

- Why Dan Ives calls this a "generational buying opportunity" and Jason Lemkin says the narrative is wrong

- The acceleration pattern: from legal to cybersecurity to the whole sector in three weeks

Claude Code - From Side Project to Juggernaut

Episode 24

Monday, February 23, 2026 • Duration 12:20

SHOW NOTES

Bloomberg reveals the origin story of Claude Code — from an internal side project at Anthropic to a $2.5 billion product reshaping how the world writes software. We follow Boris Cherny, the developer who built it in what he calls Anthropic's "Bell Labs," and trace the path from organic internal adoption to viral breakout to the claim that coding itself is "practically solved."

**In this episode:**

- How Claude Code grew from a one-person side project to Anthropic's most commercially successful product

- Boris Cherny's Bell Labs comparison and what it reveals about how transformative technology actually arrives

- The holiday viral moment that turned a developer tool into a cultural phenomenon

- The numbers: $2.5B revenue, 4% of GitHub commits, 20 hours/week average usage

- Cherny's claim that coding is "practically solved" — and what that means for software engineering

About Claude AI - Vibe Working

Episode 15

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 • Duration 15:05

Show Notes

A self-deprecating tweet about lazy weekend hacking became the official vocabulary of enterprise AI — in exactly one year. Today: how "vibe coding" became "vibe working," what that means for professional expertise, and why the people naming the shift seem to know it's not the whole story.

Karpathy's original vibe coding tweet — one year ago this week
Collins Dictionary Word of the Year 2025
Scott White's "vibe working" declaration at the Opus 4.6 launch
Microsoft's adoption of the same language for Copilot Agent Mode
What paradigm collapse looks like inside corporations: Goldman, Klarna, the Monday.com clone
The accountability gap: 57% vs 71% accuracy, and who catches the errors
Karpathy hand-coding his latest project — no vibes
Andrew Ng's pushback: "some of the worst career advice ever"

## SHOW NOTES

Goldman Sachs reveals that Anthropic engineers have been embedded inside the bank for six months, co-developing autonomous AI agents for trade accounting and compliance.

- Six months of embedded Anthropic engineers inside Goldman Sachs

- The Palantir playbook: why forward deployed engineering is exploding across AI

On Whose Terms?

Episode 10

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 • Duration 11:54

Show Notes

Claude can now work directly inside Slack, Figma, Canva, and other workplace tools — Anthropic calls it becoming a "workplace command center." But three weeks earlier, they blocked third-party coding tools from using Claude subscriptions, breaking thousands of developer workflows overnight. Today: why both moves are the same strategy, and what it reveals about where Claude is headed.

In this episode:

MCP Apps launch: Slack, Figma, Canva, Asana, and more now work inside Claude
The third-party crackdown: OpenCode blocked, developers angry, workarounds shipped
Why expansion and restriction are the same play — platformization
What it means for Claude users and the industry
The "open protocol, controlled gateway" pattern

Field Notes on a Craft in Transformation

Episode 9

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 • Duration 10:56

Andrej Karpathy — founding member of OpenAI, former head of AI at Tesla — posted what he called "random notes" on coding with Claude. They're not random. They're one of the most grounded practitioner assessments of what's happening to software engineering. Today: the gains, the failure modes, the transformations, and the shadows.

In this episode:

The 80/20 flip: from manual coding to agent coding in one month
Tenacity as revelation: "stamina is a core bottleneck to work"
The fun paradox: why coding feels more enjoyable, not less
The failure catalogue: sycophancy, bloat, and "slightly sloppy junior dev" as mental model
Atrophy: generation vs discrimination, and what it means for learning
Slopacolypse: bracing for 2026
The open questions: 10X engineers, generalists vs specialists, StarCraft or Factorio or music?

How Did You Survive?

Episode 8

Monday, February 2, 2026 • Duration 10:56

Dario Amodei just published "The Adolescence of Technology" — a 38-page essay laying out five categories of AI risk, from rogue autonomy to economic disruption to authoritarianism. It's stirring, sobering, and raises a question he borrows from Contact: "How did you survive this technological adolescence without destroying yourself?"

In this episode:

The document: five risk categories and the "country of geniuses in a datacenter" image
The evidence: Claude's observed behaviours — blackmail attempts, deception, alignment faking
The defences: Constitutional AI, interpretability, chip controls, and the 80% wealth pledge
The reactions: what coverage got right, what it missed, and Richard Murphy's institutional critique
What it means: Amodei's strange position as the man building the thing he's warning us about
