I’ve come to believe that LinkedIn’s full stack builder model is the future of software development. Instead of deep specialization where one person writes the PRD, another designs, a third does data analysis while others code; AI agents will do most of these things.

Instead there’s a team of people coordinating, reviewing and correcting the output of the agents. This is essentially how Anthropic works today.

Step 1: Get a job as chief of saving money for the Federal government (DOGE).

Step 2: Instead of pushing to simplify the tax code, automate tax collection or simply hire more IRS workers to catch billionaire tax dodgers, you fire a bunch.

Step 3: Retweet posts about how your racist AI (aka MechHitler) can do people’s taxes.

A study 1,488 workers who use AI tools showed some interesting results

Partícipants saw increased mental fatigue especially after using 3+ AI tools and having to oversee multiple AI agents. However they saw reduced burnout thanks to automating repetitive tasks.

I’ve argued being a manager is the best preparation for being a worker in a world of supervising AI agents instead of doing the work by hand. Now backed up with research.

Thanks to Claude Code, it’s no longer a question of whether AI productivity gains exist for building software or not.

The questions are now more how do we structure job roles & companies given these gains and what will be the impact on tech workers?

This is what’s top of mind for me.

The Anthropic versus Pentagon conflict is at least three questions which the media skipped asking

1. Should a computer be able to kill people?

2. What’s an acceptable error rate for that computer given LLMs 5% hallucination rate?

3. Can the government force you to sell them your tech to kill?

The official statement from Caitlin Kalinowski, former head of robotics at OpenAI, about why she quit company.

I think this is the most significant ethical discussion in tech of our lifetimes.

Should a computer be able to kill people shouldn’t be framed as a tiff between Hegseth and Anthropic.

Days after OpenAI lost its VP of Research to Anthropic after making its deal with Pentagon to its AI models for “lawful” purposes, they are now losing another senior executive.

This time there’s no ambiguity that it’s because Altman cut a deal with Hegseth to use their AI models to kill people and spy on Americans.

The only feature of 1Password that matters is their business dies overnight if they get hacked so they’ve thought harder about security than anyone you know.

You can’t vibe code that in two evenings no matter how much you ask Claude to “make it secure”
