This interview with Cat Wu, head of product at Claude Code, is interesting for some of the tidbits around how the different roles in software teams are changing. But there’s one thing that stood out for me.
She talks about how the stuff around “values” and “AGI” that Anthropic puts forward helps create alignment and speeds up decisions. The interesting thing is that this effect works even if the thing they’re describing (like AGI) is entirely fictitious. Stories work even if they’re not true (whatever true means).
