Code is the future of hardware engineering. - Charles AZAM Code is the purest way to express complexity. We used it to describe engineering systems at Jimmy. Now I'm taking the idea further with AI agents and a drone.
The Post-AGI Era AGI-level systems are now attainable while much of the economy being built around them still follows a fundamentally pre-AGI model, creating tools for humans rather than organizations designed around autonomous intelligence itself.
