> 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.

>>OJFord+Xa
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.

>>oncall+gc
Unless that was a complex constraint-satisfying compromisation problem I don't think that's different though? My point is that it didn't take so long to produce the code of this solution, it took the time to agree that it was the solution. Unless you just get everyone to agree 'whatever Claude says is the solution', having Claude produce it doesn't help!

It is different. You suggested that rakyll told Claude to simply implement a solution that her team already put the legwork into designing. I'm saying that it sounds like Claude produced the solution independently based on a description of the problem. Those two are completely different and if you can't see that, I'm not sure what to say.

> having Claude produce it doesn't help!

Sure. Also, it could be a coincidence that it came to the correct solution, we can't discount that possibility.
