And here I thought “people being easy to replace with a small shell script” was a joke…

I have an essay on what it means to be an AI native PM which touches on the topics below related to PMs wearing multiple hats. I’m torn between scrapping it as we are overdosing on AI think pieces or sharing it broadly both at work and on LinkedIn/Medium to spark discussion.
If it’s any consolation, Astral was apparently already funded by our favorite Silicon Valley crypto-fascist and egghead cosplayer, Marc Andressen.

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.
I don’t know why, but it still amazes me how fast some people have went full crackhead with LLM’s:

Seeing 50 and 60-year-old HN devs share how Claude Code reignited their passion for building software and solving problems over the framework rat race is exactly how I feel. I haven’t felt this energized in years. Detractors argue AI removes the craft and familiarity with implementation details.
Right? Like he never heard of MIT or Apache2 licence.
You could argue that for example AGPL3 is non-commercial in practice due to the requirements to disclose code. But even then.
Stop the presses. Dude who’s into LLM’s has shit takes about open source software.
Apparently OSS devs that publish under non-commercial licenses are shutting people out?
Definitely some bespoke what the fu-
