What makes you think that AI is going to produce leaner codebases? They are trained on human codebases. They are going to end up emulating that human code. It's not hard to imagine…

Or more simply, the one key question all leaders should judge themselves by.

How does that then affect your cost efficiency. What clever things are you doing with this to keep your costs so low? I guess we'll find out in a future post.

How do you decide what sets of users you pre aggregate? It seems like without some limits in place you could end up with huge number of sets, especially if you are calculating thes…
