MS Build Talk: Build the thing that builds the thing
steipete · x · 2026-08-20
- Core Concept: The talk "Build the thing that builds the thing" argues for building AI frameworks or libraries that generate code, rather than the end applications themselves.
- Problem Solving: Suggests that almost any nagging problem is solvable by some form of code generation.
- Mindset Shift: Treats traditional app development as a "side quest" while creating AI systems that automate code generation is the "main quest".
