Mats Olsen (Dune): Agents, Talent & Org Design

Dune's CTO Mats Olsen joins to discuss Dune's APIs, MCPs and CLIs for agents, and how interfaces are losing network effects as dashboards move into chat. He covers Stripe's agentic-payments bets and crypto's role in that economy, the shift of founder talent from crypto to AI, an engineer 6x-ing PR throughput on Claude Code, and Coinbase-style org changes pushing toward managers with ~15 reports or pods of one person plus agents.
