The death of software as we know it. The guest is Eilon Shalev, CEO and co-founder of Elphi, the show's first guest from MIT, and a self-described business graduate who is not a software engineer.\nThat last part is the whole point. Eilon now builds end-to-end features inside his company's actual codebase, tests them himself, and hands a working product to his senior engineers to ship. Not a demo. Not a wireframe. Real code. From there the three of them follow the thread. If a non-engineer can build the feature, what is the engineer for? Eilon's answer reframes the job around architecture, judgment, and prompts, not typing code. Then it gets weird and fun: a hundred years out, custom LLMs, neural links, two societies, and whether you are the product.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/wuXFxjXsh04Ea3JOYFmb_DK9yGgH1BjakkIGKYNCoCw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81OWYw/YTgwMjQ1MmIwN2Zk/N2JlNmE5OWUzZmJk/ZmUyYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
