Everyone’s newest report is Claude and the dude is a machine.

We really need to get a sense of what this guy is up to. Testing out ideas. Building really low quality designs. Writing the most boring and awful prose.

But the Claude in my IDE is just the one I can see. While I’m busy watching him, there’s another one picking up tickets and opening PRs. One reviewing all the PRs. One fixing the build when it goes red. I thought I hired a coworker. I staffed a whole department — and every one of them is shoving inputs into the same pipeline I’m on the hook for.

How much is it moving the team forward? The Company? And at what cost?

There have been a lot of changes over my career, and this one is very much the same as the older ones.

Going from local hardware to cloud hardware. Going from single app to distributed app. Going from waterfall to agile work.

AI will only be more disruptive if people can actually take advantage of it.
