He Built GitHub’s #2 Project. Then Failed Anthropic’s Coding Test.

Matt Van Horn sits down with Jesse Vincent, creator of Superpowers, one of GitHub’s biggest software projects, to talk about the rapidly changing future of coding with AI. Superpowers has racked up more than 290,000 GitHub stars and an astonishing 43 million clones in 14 days. Jesse shares how he built Superpowers, why he believes “no competent human should be writing lines of source code in 2026,” and the surprising story of being recruited by Anthropic, only to freeze during a basic JavaScript coding test. Plus, Matt and Jesse dig into AI agents, Claude Code, open source, the future of software engineering, and why being nice to your AI might actually get better results.
