DHH on living through two epochal shifts: the internet and now AI
Hesamation · x · 2026-10-31
Sharing a DHH interview clip, Hesamation highlights DHH's reflection on 'decades of progress happening in nine months.' DHH invokes the Wright brothers era — the press said flight was 10,000 years away one day, and cross-Atlantic planes existed a few years later — and counts himself fortunate to live through two complete world transformations: pre-to-post internet, and now pre-to-post AI. 'What an amazing run. How fortunate.'
