TACTIC 01·Y Combinator

Pick the right era of software for the problem

Karpathy describes three kinds of software. Software 1.0 is the code you write for the computer. Software 2.0 is neural networks, in particular their weights. Software 3.0 is prompts, which are programs that program the LLM and are written in English. He calls these three completely different programming paradigms, each with slight pros and cons, and says it is a good idea to be fluent in all of them.

THE PLAY
Before you build a piece of functionality, decide which paradigm it belongs in: explicit code (1.0), a neural network (2.0) or a prompt to an LLM (3.0). Weigh the pros and cons of each for that piece, and stay fluent in all three so the choice is a real one.

“I've had this one YouTube podcast saved for like 2 months and never watched the whole thing. Pasted it into Podex and at least got the main points out of it.”

Jake Morrison

“The goals thing is actually pretty useful. I put in that I wanted to get better at marketing and it gave me tactics from the episodes instead of just another generic summary.”

“I mainly use it for YouTube videos. I don't really have time to sit through 2 hour podcasts anymore, so being able to paste the link and get a Podex is nice.”

what members say
“At first I thought it was just going to be another podcast summarizer, but the part where it builds stuff around your goals is what made me keep using it.”

“I listen to a lot of Alex Hormozi and similar podcasts. Instead of having 10 tabs open, I can just put the episodes into Podex and go through the important parts.”
Ethan Williams · Student & Creator
“The summaries are good, but I think the goal-based plans are the coolest part. It gives me somewhere to actually start instead of just giving me information.”
Sofia Rossi · Indie Founder
“I've used the YouTube link feature way more than I expected. There are so many podcasts I listen to that aren't in one specific app, so just being able to paste the link is convenient.”
Daniel Okafor · Operator Member
