#27: Tips & Tricks

August 18, 2026

AI is getting more powerful, but the bigger shift may be where it runs and who gets access to it. Dustin and Andy discuss the potential for private, on-device AI, specialized models, and Eric Schmidt’s argument for making the benefits of AI more broadly available. They explore what happens if access to the best models becomes a competitive advantage reserved for the largest companies and why broader access could matter for small businesses and individuals.

Then the conversation turns to the latest generation of AI models and what they could mean for software development. As models become capable of completing increasingly complex projects with less direction, the bottleneck shifts from writing code to defining requirements, evaluating results, testing systems, and making the thousands of decisions that turn functional software into good software. That shift could make previously unaffordable legacy migrations possible while also creating an explosion of new software inside businesses.
