Articles, papers, and resources I find valuable. Curated weekly.
This week is all about conversations becoming infrastructure. Jeff Pulver's vCon trilogy makes the case better than I ever could — we're at the spreadsheet moment for business conversations. Meanwhile, Anthropic's $30B raise and Claude Code's $2.5B run-rate show AI coding agents are real businesses, not experiments.
The vCon moment explained perfectly: just like spreadsheets made numbers usable, vCons make conversations searchable, learnable, and portable across companies and the internet.
Small businesses lose money not because people don't care, but because conversations disappear. This is the business case for structured conversation memory.
Brilliant vCon explainer: give an amoeba memory and it evolves. Humans have conversations — vCons give us the ability to keep them.
3CX partners getting deeper analytics integration. Watch how call analytics vendors position themselves as vCon becomes the standard.
Zoom doubling down on AI agents for meetings. The UCaaS platforms are all racing toward the same future — conversations as structured data.
Claude Code hit $2.5B run-rate revenue, doubled since January. AI coding agents are real businesses now, not experiments.
Boris Cherny (Claude Code creator) on why human engineers matter more than ever: someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, decide what to build next.
