Anthropic DMCA’d my Claude code fork. …which did not have the Claude Code source. It was only for a PR where I edited a skill a few weeks ago. Absolutely pathetic.

literally anyone can ship quickly if they sacrifice reliability. it’s not in any way impressive.

Cannot wait for teams that build their custom JIRA/Workday replacement/custom CRM to one day turn around and ask: “Why do we have so much internal software that is buggy / has poor UX + we need to maitain?” Seen this movie well before AI, when Uber built uChat (custom Slack)

> The attacker got the npm token by injecting a prompt into a GitHub issue title, which an AI triage bot read, interpreted as an instruction, and executed.

Every abstraction shift in software history made devs more productive by raising the level of intent. This is the next step: from writing code to orchestrating systems that write code (building "the factory" for your code). The unsolved problem isn't generation but verification. That's where engineering judgment becomes your highest-leverage skill. To truly scale, think "factory model" - orchestrate fleets of agents like a production line: clear specs as blueprints, TDD for quality control, strong architecture to amplify leverage.

Software engineering changed more in the last 3 months than the preceeding 30 years. Everything about running a software company needs to be rethought from first principles.

Anthropic's CEO claimed that AI will write all code in 6 months a year ago, and yet, they are still hiring software engineers. Make it make sense.

The problem is that “corporate politics” sounds ick and needs a rebrand. If you called it “getting shit done when different people have different opinions,” suddenly it makes no sense to say this is “beneath you.” Indeed you are playing the game, whether you like it or not.

if you think you can build calendly inhouse with 15 hours of prompting and vibe coding you have no idea how software works
