The fate of software engineering in a world

The thought after a 10-minute one-shot.

A monk's year, or your Tuesday with Claude Code.

They burned down their only advantage.

You become the limit. Or you ship slop.
Leverage makes no returns. You do.
Standards. Instinct. Empathy. You just have to care.
