@shiri_shh Let's get a polymarket board on the Claude code team.

The Anthropic team is dogfooding Claude Code at insane levels. In the last 52 days, the Claude team dropped 50+ major UPDATES. One employee alone hit $150,000 in a single month on Claude Code 80% of employees use it daily, with power users racking up six-figure bills.

@benhylak Hahaha love it. The entire tech industry has been just shuffling around the same 5-10 bootstraps layouts/patterns forever. Everything looks the same ALWAYS

"the first design agent with taste" the taste:

@lennysan Honestly though, if you think about it, what else is there to design?? Every single SaaS product is using the same 5 to 10 patterns.

I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process. That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally. One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026 In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends: 1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years 2. AI hasn’t slowed the demand for software engineers (at least not yet) 3. AI roles in general are absolutely exploding 4. Design roles have plateaued 5. The Bay Area is increasing in importance 6. Remote work opportunities continue to decline 7. Despite ongoing layoffs, the overall number of tech jobs continues to grow More in 🧵

@thsottiaux Yes, I like it because it gives credit and accountability to the people (humans/agents) involved. I actually think that adding type of model used by the agent will be helpful as well. Especially if there's a hand off between multiple agents leveraging multiple models.

Do people like this? We don't do this for codex because it exists to help you and it's important that you remain the owner and accountable for your work without AI taking credit. At the same time it does mean that you can't trace how popular codex is among repos.

Ads suck. They always have and always will. Two steps forward, one step back I guess 🍿

@lennysan Crisp handoffs that you copy and paste into the new chat is how I did it.

How did we ever build anything before this feature

Claude: This isn't working now. You can try again later. Developers:

Has anyone checked on the PM that looks after: "Which response do you prefer?".....in ChatGPT? Do they know yet? I mean, I've answered that question about 7 million times.

@amasad Ya know, hats off to you. At least you have the courage to actually acknowledge what is happening with AI and are strong enough to publicly say it. Hopefully job descriptions start to catch up to 2026. 💪💪

Fact check: ✅

@NicoleBehnam You're literally explaining @joerogan show

Someone needs to start a podcast/show called “Dumb It Down” where they bring on the smartest founders and builders, and the host just keeps asking clarifying questions until even your mom understands what exactly they do​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

@juliarturc @MatthewBerman Hahah literally lol'd when I saw this.

@MatthewBerman Down for anything

Is Codex down right now??

@garrytan Champion VS Challenger. Run the challenger in shadow mode and then cut over when it's better and proven working.

One of the things everyone believes about software is that "once it works you shouldn't touch it." But what if that is wrong? What if in the world of infinite software that is very very good and smart and well tested and available at the touch of a button, your agent will READ code that has done it, and then WRITE IT CUSTOM FOR YOU, and with a little bit of QA tooling and the full AGI-level smarts of the model, that will be what all users actually prefer.

How I look at Claude code asking for my approval to run cdk deploy after --dangerously-skip-permissions

@dflieb Google war time mode? If by wartime you mean continue to acquire companies because we don't build stuff anymore then sure...Google is in "wartime mode" 🫠

I’m bullish on Google for many reasons. One simple example is this feature that we wanted to ship 10 years ago but was constantly blocked by lawyers. Google is maybe finally in wartime mode.

@benhylak Noticed when I saw the option to choose thinking hardness

idk what they did to claude code but it's unusably slow now.

@gentschev @mr_james_c Absolutely 🙌

@JVal3nti @mr_james_c It's toasted.

I started my career working on tobacco brands. There's virtually zero product differentiation. Yet smokers would define their personality based on the brand they smoked. So I can tell you this article is 100% wrong.

@FrankieIsLost Jobs are like heroin for SWEs. They'll consume company resources indiscriminately if someone else is paying the salary. Most of it generates zero marginal revenue.

LLMs are like heroin for SWEs, they’ll consume tokens indiscriminately if someone else is paying the bill. the problem is that most of this activity generates zero marginal revenue

@benhylak couldn’t agree more. My test for an AI model: if it were a person, would you take it to a business dinner? Gemini: Never Claude: Yes. Your brilliant Sales Engineer ChatGPT: Only if it was in Vegas.

i wish this were true. but it's not. there's a much easier explanation: AI researchers don't have taste. they're brilliant, but among the most tasteless people i've ever met.

@loganthorneloe Problem I've seen with Trad SWEs and powerful AI: jealousy. Especially at companies who built their entire culture around nerds being able to pump out leet code on whiteboards by hand.

There's been a new energy at Google these past few months. Every engineer has been given access to Gemini and they're all eager to apply it to their work and products. It's been incredible to be a part of.
