We solved the blank canvas problem | Tom Occhino from Vercel

The prototype is the new PRD.

In 2013, Facebook’s development of React changed the way software engineers build and write code. Today, LLMs are transforming that process again. This episode features Tom Occhino, React co-creator and current CPO at Vercel, whose work sits at the center of both shifts. In conversation with 1Password CTO Nancy Wang and Google’s Dev Tagare, Tom explores the platform changes driven by AI-written code, builds a full-stack app in real time, and sets up a deeper discussion on the security risks of agents building software.

In this episode:
React has become the default framework for AI-generated code
AI is closing the gap between product ideation and engineering execution
The ability to securely run and isolate AI agents must be built into platforms
What the return to full-stack thinking means for the future of software engineering
Tools like v0 put production-grade app building in the hands of anyone with an idea
