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.

This is how I viewed it, they spent a year, figuring out exactly what they wanted, then they gave it to the system. I think it might have been different if they had started with AI in the first place.
