Lenny's Podcast

"I use Claude every day now to do all sorts of things that are just not related to coding at all and just to do it automatically."

"I was still using Cursor for most of my code."

"100% of my code is written by Claude Code. I have not edited a single line by hand since November."

"I don't know if you all are allowed to use Granola, something like that, like meeting transcripts."

"Companies like Perplexity, DBT, and Buzzfeed use Omni to ship analytics their customers can trust."

"But with AI, it's like you go to ChatGPT, you ask it a question, you get an answer. I get this AI is a mega trend."

"It's like syncing stuff between spreadsheets and messaging people on Slack."

"the engineer that was newer on the team just had Quad do it and it was like hey Quad it seems like there's a leak. Can you figure it out? Quad did exactly the same thing that I was doing. It found the issue and put up a request faster than I could."

"One was Opus 4 and then in November it inflected and it just keeps inflecting. The growth just keeps getting steeper and steeper and steeper every day."

"Opus 4 was our first kind of ASL3 class model. We just saw this inflection because everyone started to use Quad Code for the first time."

"And this is a thing that we first started seeing with Opus 4 and Sonnet 4."

"I switched to Mercury from Chase over a year ago, and it is such a profoundly better experience."

"Claude code when we released it was not immediately a hit. It became a hit over time and there was a few inflection points. One was Opus 4 and then in November it inflected and it just keeps inflecting."

"Co-work when we released it was just immediately a hit much more so than Claude code was early on. What if we just take Claude code and put it in the desktop app that's essentially the thing that worked."

"Something that Quad Code got right from the very beginning, we bet on building for the model 6 months from now, not for the model of today."

"I switched to Mercury from Chase over a year ago, and it is such a profoundly better experience. It's like an actual product person built a bank versus a banking person building a product."

"They have a semantic layer built in so that when you embed their analytics, the AI actually knows your business definitions, not just your raw tables."

"Orcus Conductor provides a production grade orchestration layer for coordinating microservices, APIs, data pipelines, human tasks, and agentic workflows."

"Sentry catches it all. See what happened where and why down to the commit that introduced the error"

"Samsara is building products for the physical world. First responders racing to emergencies, truck drivers carrying critical supplies"

"Framer, the website builder that turns your.com from a formality into a tool for growth"
