Creators and voices referenced in the videos.

- [Andrej Karpathy](andrej-karpathy.md) - AI engineer who coined 'vibe coding' in February 2025 and popularized the LLM-built personal knowledge base (the 'Karpathy LLM Wiki').
- [Andrew Ng](andrew-ng.md) - AI educator behind the Coursera 'AI for Everyone' course and the machine learning, deep learning, and NLP specializations Cole recommends for AI fundamentals.
- [Boris Cherny](boris-cherny.md) - Creator of Claude Code whose 'coding is largely solved' remark was widely misread; he clarified that great engineers matter more than ever.
- [Cole Medin](cole-medin.md) - AI engineer and educator whose YouTube channel and Dynamous community teach agentic coding; creator of Archon and the source of this entire knowledge base.
- [Dan Shapiro](dan-shapiro.md) - Applied the 'dark factory' term to codebases and generative AI, and authored the blog post mapping AI coding autonomy to self-driving-car levels.
- [Dario Amodei](dario-amodei.md) - CEO of Anthropic, cited as the highest-profile source of the 'AI will write 90% of code' and 'software engineers go extinct in 2026' predictions Cole pushes back on.
- [Eric Simons](eric-simons.md) - CEO and co-founder of StackBlitz (maker of bolt.new) who announces the partnership making the community fork the official open-source bolt.DIY and frames it as a real-world benchmark frontier labs test models against.
- [Geoffrey Huntley](geoffrey-huntley.md) - Creator of the Ralph Wiggum long-running agent loop, who frames it as a planning-heavy philosophy rather than a shiny framework or the Anthropic plugin.
- [Lior Weinstein](lior-weinstein.md) - Co-host of Cole's AI Transformation Workshop and founder of CTOX; source of the CX-OS 'agent-managed operations' framing.
- [Mario Zechner](mario-zechner.md) - Creator of Pi; gave the AI Engineer conference talk 'Building Pi in a world of slop' on why a minimal, extensible coding agent wins.
- [Nick Baumann](nick-baumann.md) - An original creator of Cline who argued the RAG narrative is a 'mind virus' for autonomous coding agents.
- [Peter Steinberger](peter-steinberger.md) - Creator of OpenClaw, cited alongside Boris Cherny as a proponent of loop engineering - writing loops instead of prompting agents, backed by a near-infinite token budget.
- [Rasmus](rasmus.md) - Creator of the PRP framework and a Dynamous community member; a former product manager who built PRP over a year for working on existing codebases.
