Geoffrey Huntley is a software engineer who has been writing prolifically and delivering keynotes internationally about AI's impact on software development and society. He discovered the Ralph/Claude loop approach nearly a year before it went viral and has focused on education, teaching juniors to pay attention, and pleading with people to invest in themselves. His work explores what it means to be a software developer when the cost of development has fallen below minimum wage, and how model-first companies are reshaping the unit economics of business.
