> I’m not joking and this isn’t funny. We have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. There are various options, not everyone is aligned... I gave Cloud Code a description of the problem, it generated what we built last year in an hour.
So I see one error. GP said “couldn’t do”. The engineer really said “matched”.
- woooooo 9mo agoThe key words in the quote are "not everyone is aligned". It's not about execution ability.
- keybored 9mo agoThe key words are “one hour”. So what if there is some mealy-mouthed preamble?
- woooooo 9mo agoAt big tech companies "were still finding alignment" is code for leadership not being able to make decisions and unblock execution.
- keybored 9mo agoDearest leadership not unblocking execution. What's that got to do with what we’re complaining about? Did Claude cure cancer (this is hyperbole) in one hour or not?
- woooooo 9mo agoThe point of the story to me was, with a clear idea of what they want, the person got a year's worth of Big Tech done in a few hours with Claude. Could have been a couple days with a tight team, either way, the problem wasn't the coding ability or typing speed.
