Stap into any office? It’s full of random people, and it’s full of noise. I’ve not seen places where the knowledge work wasn’t set together with the noisemakers.

I can provide value to any meeting that I’m invited to. That doesn’t mean it’s the most valuable thing I can do with my time (especially given how tragically frustrating most of them are).

Is there anyone else that uses Claude specifically because it doesn’t sound mentally unhinged while thinking?

Oh, I wasn’t trying to imply you should. I don’t want to. I’m perfectly happy as a principal. But people tell me I can’t keep doing that for the next 20 years and expect to keep my job.

Why would I care? I’ll either steer the agents, or I’ll collaborate with them. Or I’ll do something else equally fun. It’s not as programming is the only worthwhile endeavour in the world.

Something like if you are not a manager at 53 there must be something wrong with you? That’s what people keep telling me to watch out for.
