Is it? Most of the claims I’ve seen are around productivity (bottom line). And while it’s hard to say “we would’ve had to hire more devs to be this productive without Claude” it kind of feels like the case, doesn’t it?
Maybe? But I also think: - there are a lot of companies that don’t need to be 5 9s[1] - I have a feeling it’s possible to ship fast without drastic quality drops [1] Claude code is 99.85% available and is one of the…
Unfortunately not everything will cleanly show up in PnL, which is a function of the entire company’s processes. If developers are shipping more code (and most of the enablement is in software right now) does that show…

Land rover’s customer base probably doesn’t care much about maintainability. most are leased.
Touché
I thought the point was (at least initially) that you’re not paying hotel rates
The ads in Apple Wallet for their credit card drive me insane. So invasive.
I could see SO being helpful for more niche questions where one guy somewhere knows the answer from experience or he wrote the framework. But then over time, those will be absorbed into LLMs anyway, so…
This seems like the most likely answer to me - though we all have our grievances with SO, the culture likely didn’t contribute to its decline as much as simply AI being a better tool.
Similar with lifted trucks. Lifts are bad for driveshafts, suspension, tires, etc

[if the article’s analysis is true] cost controls would reduce the supply of ambulances, since the article claims Medicare actually is a loss. You have claimed it isn’t, but you haven’t really provided much evidence…
Ambulance.ai (Shudders)
Some of them are volunteers who do it because it’s about the calling to help their communities, not pay. Some do it because they actually want to be firefighters but it’s helpful to be an EMT as well. Others do it…
He covered that in the article fairly thoroughly. Did you read it? The anecdote illustrates the issue then he dives into the analysis.
A percentage of our 10x engineers just left. Morale problems can be just enough to make your best people pick up the phone when recruiters call.
Not another one of these. The connected, small community internet still exists. The article comes off as kind of a curmudgeonly old man yelling at clouds. More nostalgia bait… I hope one day I get downvote privileges…
Have you ever let the LLMs “discuss” with each other to see if that would give better answers? You might end up with the answer from the most persuasive LLM, but you might also end up with better results. Wonder if…
The good news is those skills of getting people to believe in you and your thing are critical to leadership as an EM too. I’m sure we all can think of managers who don’t have those skills but rely on the stick, and…
I know three really good engineers who have said the same for exactly those reasons. (eg “I don’t want to choose who gets laid off” etc) I totally respect that, and the people I know who said that to me are typically…
Absolutely. This is the hardest part of the transition to manager: your engineering skills alone won’t make you a manager. It’s a different role.
