Totally get the concern about resume screening and outbound funnels breaking – AI is kind of erasing a lot of the old GTM playbooks.

One parallel shift: AI search engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) are quietly changing how people *find* and trust information. Instead of clicking 10 blue links, they get one synthesized answer – which means visibility now depends on being the source those systems “quote,” not just ranking in Google.

There’s a growing concept called Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) that’s basically: how do you structure content so AI systems can understand and surface it? Been exploring it a bit, and this free tool, https://aeoanalyzer.app, has been useful for seeing how my pages look from an AI’s perspective.

Feels very adjacent to the “second‑order effects” you’re mapping out.

nice. Hate plastic! But, great analogy.

I'm looking forward to your GitHub replacement but it shouldn't just be for code or at least what was code. I see knowledge work and code merging together. Google Drive isn't cutting it anymore but neither is Github. If most code and most knowledge work become the same thing, there needs to be a third layer that integrates how you interact with AI/Claude Code and how it stores everything. Vectors not docs. etc.
