“Any time you have like a statement of what good looks like. Get that into the repo, and then code review can make sure it's still matching what you set up to do.”

AI tools have eliminated raw coding as the primary software engineering bottleneck
“And that's the shift that, you know, like we're seeing with cloud code and coworkers is Coding is no longer the bottleneck.”
Entire Claude Code team checks in code, including PMs and designers
“Like now, not only engineers with, we also have designers, PMs, everybody on the Clark code team checks in code.”
Fung manages engineers via Claude sessions connected to all repos and Slack
“The other shift that I've recently done is I actually have a quad code remote session that I enlist in all of our repos. And so this way I have full visibility into the work that everybody's doing. And this instance, he also has access to all our Slack channel…”

“On the manager front, I think giving time for managers that join to be able to go deep and to do that before supporting people. And then they actually like end up building really great rapport with the team. Like, because if not, I think sometimes as managers,…”
Anthropic engineers felt isolated working with AI, prompting pairwise programming lunches
“The other thing that we found interesting on the Cloud Code team is after a while we felt it could start being a lonely experience cause we all started just working with our agents so much. So recently we started maybe like a pairwise programming lunch.”
