I talk with Alessio Carrà about the rapidly closing window for entrepreneurs in the AI coding space. He shares how someone turned a simple domain idea into $2K monthly revenue in just days, and explains why the "easy wins" won't last.
Alessio walks me through Context Engineering—his solution to the chaos that happens when vibe coding projects get bigger and AI agents start breaking things. We discuss the weird emotional shift of watching AI write your code, Amazon's new Kiro IDE, and whether we're heading toward a future of local AI models running on laptops.
