the way that I'm judging us and engineers, like, are you producing the factory that will produce

multiplicative outputs B through Z? It's not even 10x. It's 100x or 1,000x, and it always has been.

Claude or ChachyPT is basically as good as you are in a domain. I would say just waste tokens,

save time. Don't look at the tokens either as inputs or outputs. Just look at your time and look at the

final output. No matter how expensive these models might seem, they're still way cheaper than a human.

The models at some point graduated. They used to be junior engineers. Now they're principal engineers.

And now with the agents, you just don't get stuck anymore, which is pretty amazing.

Is pure software dead. Blake, how are you applying all this stuff at Boom Supersonic?

Yeah.

What I sound is it completely changes their role of software and hardware developers.

The thing that we did from day one was try to take a lot of traditional engineering

workflows, and I mean hardware engineering workflows, and turn them into software. And so if you haven't been around hardware engineering,

at least if I can make this more clear, there's a lot of engineering,

hardware engineering that happens in Excel spreadsheets on engineers' laptops in a silo.

And it's very complex spreadsheets, sometimes like VBScript code. And all of this is

actually software. But it's treated as if it's not software. There's no, there's no source control,

there's no automated testing. If you want to hand something off from like an aerodynamicist

to a structures engineer, that's done manually with like a spreadsheet

over email like it's the 1990s it's terrible and so we started building these kind of like software

frameworks they can automate and make repeatable hardware engineering flows the idea we could

reduce the cost of iteration um but it was it was slow going because we could never get enough, we can never like affording

of software engineers. And what we've gotten into is this, uh, mind-blowingly different model
