“As a concrete example, an engineer at Spotify on their morning commute from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature to the iOS app,” Söderström said.

Cool, so your goal is to replace your senior engineers with AI slop, but it's still generating bugs? Doesn't sound like much of an improvement.

“And once Claude finishes that work, the engineer then gets a new version of the app, pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so that he can then merge it to production, all before they even arrive at the office.”

Translation: Want to work as hard as a sole proprietor but not get paid like one? Great! You can work from your car while dealing with bullshit commuter traffic. Also, if you get into an accident, you can't claim worker's compensation or SDL, because you're not technically on the job, yet! Thanks for being a team player!

Is the idea that they're somehow reviewing the code on their phone during their commute? Or are they just pushing to prod without even glancing at it? Why bother with the middle man. Just have the AI push it. What a stupid admission.

i assumed the commuting to be done via public transport, but yes, you should not give one minute outside of working hours to the soulless company. I don't know what these engineers are thinking, digging their way in the future when they'll be made redundant.
