Paul is a two-decade Microsoft veteran (where he defined the company's Life Sciences strategy), current Adobe thought leader, author of The AI-Ready Human, and host of the Humanity Working podcast. When he says he just built a hybrid CRM / CMS / news feed for his own job in twelve hours using Claude Code, it isn't a party trick. It's a signal.\n\nMatt and Paul spend an hour on what that signal means. The new frontier isn't asking Claude for help; it's vibe coding the perfect workflow for whatever job you have. They get into why every commercial product is an artifact of cost to market, not necessity — and why the product becomes the problem. What survives from the standard-software stack in regulated industries. Why companies like Veeva and Salesforce may need to reinvent themselves as role-enablement layers. And the reason for both Paul's morning \"we're all screwed\" moments and his afternoon \"this is enormous work\" ones: almost nothing about how we structure work is fit for purpose."}
