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

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.

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.
