If that engineer isn’t heavily involved in designing the application, writing the code or debugging the code, they better make sure their 6-month emergency cash reserve is properly funded.
> “As a concrete example, an engineer at Spotify on their morning commute from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature to the iOS app,” Söderström said. “And once Claude finishes that work, the engineer then gets a new version of the app, pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so that he can then merge it to production, all before they even arrive at the office.”
I can't tell what's worse:
- they now expect people to actively work during the commute they aren't paying you for; or
- they're perfectly fine setting an expectation for people to work while commuting, ignoring the obvious safety issue that presents for anyone whose commute involves a car, walking, or crossing a street.
I mean CTOs are the same people who cargo-culted mass adoption of "the cloud" for their completely static workload, and are now cargo-culting mass adoption of "AI".
I would be more surprised if these people did understand what a PR is. $50 says this fucker doesn't know the difference between Git and GitHub either.

I think it's worse that a CTO doesn't seem to know the difference between a PR and an app.
