编码 AI 的终极检验：软件是否整体变好

The ultimate test for coding AI: is software as a whole getting better? Are companies shipping faster? Do you now have apps and games you couldn't even dream of before? Is the software you're getting bug-free? For me: my own ability to influence my productivity has radically increased. I feel a level of agency and autonomy I never had before. I'm free to create and execute. I can communicate a vision with my colleagues instantly. Personal software is real and a big win, I have a bunch of web tools and macOS apps I wrote just for myself. For Vercel: it's been amazing to see our CTO @cramforce bring novel software to life with swaths of agents. Genuinely useful software that's having an impact industry-wide emerged nearly autonomously (https://t.co/zwHPbMHK45, https://t.co/TTbSu13EjV, https://t.co/HedSpZpVQI). That's just an example. Our PM team ships software and fixes bugs. Our junior engineers and interns ship quality software at scale. On a personal note, AI at my fingertips, as CLI or v0, allows me to keep up with all the product updates. I can build demos, apps and benchmarks on top of @vercel as new products go out. But the ultimate jury is that people should love our products, expand their usage, refer their friends and colleagues to the platform. So far that tracks well, and it's the main metric I watch (and obviously we take token costs seriously, just like any other infrastructure spend… there isn't and has never been a proclamation to "tokenmaxxx").
