> There are various options, not everyone is aligned... I gave Claude Code a description of the problem, it generated what we built last year in an hour.

This is silly, they didn't spend a year trying to crank out the right code, they spent a year not being aligned, disagreeing on approach, getting people to commit, support from other teams providing necessary integrations or platform etc. - Claude didn't help with any of that, it just did the code part, which wasn't the problem in the first place.

My reading is precisely the opposite, ie that she fed it the problem without the solution and it independently came to the solution they spent months arguing over.
