Stop Maintaining Your Code. Start Replacing It

"The code that we have is a liability. The system is the asset we're building."

Chad Fowler, VC at Blue Yard Capital and former CTO at Wunderlist, sits down with Guy Podjarny to discuss the Phoenix Architecture: software designed to be replaced rather than maintained.

In this episode:
• why was the code written by Chad never longer than a page
• how he replaced 70% of a codebase in 3 months and cut costs by 75%
• shipping AI code no human ever reviewed, and how to make it safe
• the shadow specs your agents are making without you
• why your system should work with the worst LLM, not just the best

If you're still thinking about your codebase the old way, this one will change that.
