"A year or two from now you'll just tell Astra 9 to make your humanoid do it," says SF builder

A San Francisco practitioner shares that one of his team's most important pieces of software was written by someone with zero coding experience — "unbelievable how quickly the world has changed."
His side note is the sharper take: robotics people in SF keep asking why he doesn't sell software for robots. His answer — "you can make money on that today, but a year or two from now, you can just ask Astra 9 'make my humanoid do this and this, make no mistakes,' and it will just do it." Nearly everyone so far has pushed back — even in SF, many still aren't AI-pilled enough.
