Content Is Code
summary
Claims that content shifts left into code and demonstrates it by recreating a Conductor product tour with React and Remotion, showing a working but slightly buggy generated walkthrough. Argues era three makes code cheap via Anthropic and OpenAI yet structure is expensive, so the surprising bottleneck is conscientiousness not model power. Promises reproducible pipelines: declarative content engineering that generates docs, videos, screenshots from a structured codebase, with the caveat that quality depends on disciplined tokens tests and merge practices.
