[01:01:48] S2: Mhmm. [01:01:48] S1: You can call up Federico the night before your first day. [01:01:52] S2: Mhmm. [01:01:52] S1: Okay? And say, ah, I've done this before and you should know this. What would you tell yourself on that night before? [01:01:59] S2: Be bolder. I think sometimes I waited for somebody to give me permission to do stuff as if I was in school. And instead, when when you start doing stuff autonomously and it looks like it's something smart and it can work, people will just cheer for you. It's it's not like anybody's gonna stop you, at least not at Bending Spoons. If you have an idea for something that works, we're just gonna be enthusiastic about you trying it. So I tend to be high agency, but but I didn't have the confidence to just start doing stuff. And and I'm glad that they they pushed me to do it, but I would just tell myself, be bolder. Start more things. [01:02:34] S1: If I wasn't afraid, I would do dot dot dot. [01:02:38] S2: I love Neuralink. I think Neuralink is the product, like like, the thing that can change the world the most in fifty years, including AI, in my opinion. So I know I know people love AI. I love AI. I use it every day. But I think that, ultimately, the way you perceive reality and the way it changes through Neuralink is going to be a bigger difference compared to having hyper smart hyper smart computers. So, yeah, so so Neuralink... If I wasn't afraid to fail, I would start a Neuralink competitor or find a way to work on Neuralink or even better, start a Neuralink product inside Bending Spoons.

[01:03:17] S1: Federico, this has been so much fun, Steve. Thank you so much for joining me, and I so appreciate you taking the time. [01:03:22] S2: I loved it. Thank you very much.

[01:03:25] S0: But before we leave you today, on this show, we care about velocity. Most teams lose it in code review, not in writing code. Now CodeRabbit fixes that. The second a PR opens, it leaves clear line by line comments, calls out what the change might touch, and offers one click fixes. You can teach your organizational standards using your own custom instructions, such as cursor or Claude rules, and enforce them on every PR. CodeRabbit has so far reviewed more than 13,000,000 PRs and installed on 2,000,000 repositories used by over a 100,000 OSS projects. If you wanna cut code review time and bugs in half, try a free month at coderabbit.ai with the code two zero v c. And while coderabbit keeps your code clean, Warp Dev makes it fly. AI coding is everywhere, but most of it, honestly, it's pretty chaotic. Code that is almost right, but you don't really understand? Well, that's why Warp exists. With Warp, the old lines between terminal and IDE disappear. It's a seamless environment for coding with agents where you can prompt, plan, review, and ship production ready code, edit files in app, review diffs as you go, and deploy straight to production without switching tools. Warp tops the benchmarks, literally number one on terminal bench, top five on software engineering bench verified, and is trusted by over 600,000 developers and used by 56% of the Fortune five hundred teams, making it one of the fastest growing AI companies with revenue growing 30 x this year. With Warp, you don't just get speed, you get code you can trust. The average developer saves five hours a week with Warp. That's almost half a day. Try Warp for free at warp.dev/20vc. And to get pro for only $5 for your first month, use the code two zero v c. That's two zero v c.
