AI isn't just another tool—it’s a complete shift in how companies are being built, scaled, and operated. In this episode, Mike and Corey sit down with Eric Mills, founder of Density and Y Combinator alum, to explore what it really means to build an AI-native company. From early-stage experimentation to shipping with agents and orchestrated workflows, Eric brings a practical lens to the hype and a systems-level view on what’s actually working.

They dig into how AI is collapsing cost structures, changing the rules of offshoring, and reshaping org design—from engineering teams to mid-level management. The conversation also touches on knowledge graphs, the rise of “vibe coding,” and why the winners in this next wave won’t just be faster—they’ll be fundamentally different. Whether you’re building, investing, or leading through change, this is a crash course in what the future of software looks like.
