Our Commentary ​

This quote from Boris Cherny resonates deeply. "Production code written by Claude should have a higher bar than if it was written by a human." Absolutely. The idea that AI code needs more scrutiny, not less, is something I think we all need to internalize. It's not about replacing humans; it's about augmenting them with tools that demand a new level of rigor.
