taste Whether good and bad exist in made things, and how a maker comes to tell them apart.

education How children are taught and tested: schools, tutoring, what a lesson at the right level does, and what AI changes.

ideas vs execution Whether the idea or the execution behind it is what actually decides an outcome, and who deserves the credit.

What Sunil Pai actually said

  1. Sunil Pai Systems and developer-tools engineer at Cloudflare as of 2026
    making intelligence cheap does not automatically make “agency” cheap. people are constrained by time, money, confidence, health, education, institutions, family, geography; a model does not magic any of that away. there’s a perfectly believable future where these tools mostly compound the advantage of people who already have the skill, taste, money and the spare time to use them well.
