Quote: "In the future, it's going to be optimizing for something that you've never seen before, and you will never see. Because it'll be a niche search online, or a niche LLM online, that's being used for a specific purpose." — Greg Brooks 00:09:17
Quote: "If we don't know what to look for, we've already lost the ability to create something of the highest level of quality. But if we do know what to look for, and what we should be striving for, now it's way less work, because we don't have to do these things." — Greg Brooks 00:13:22

"Low hanging fruit is almost always a fancy way of saying, like, short term outcomes, which is typically not a winning strategy." — Greg Brooks 00:36:33
"Time is the most valuable resource you have and of course, we can all figure it out and you can figure it out all by yourself, but speed wins. Someone else who pays for true expertise to speed critical processes will outperform trial and error every single time, but the key here is allocating resources well whether that be finances or time. There's a balance." — Jeff
