206. May 2026 Mailbag


Listen Later

In the May 2026 Mailbag, Jason and Jeff tackle a series of compelling listener questions, starting with a deep dive into whether "vibe coding" and agentic AI are truly an existential threat to major SaaS companies like Salesforce and Snowflake. The duo also untangles the complicated corporate web of Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC vs. BIP), exploring why the company might finally be moving to ditch its limited partnership structure. Later, they revisit the ongoing struggles at The Trade Desk, debate the concept of "regret minimization" when dealing with massive winners like Rocket Lab and Nvidia, and discuss how to properly balance single-company risk versus overall portfolio volatility.
