I made a 3k loc change this week in a single pull request (took me 2-3 days). Last big change I made was a 1.5k loc in a single PR, it took 1-2wks (this was back in 2023). There is no chance that 3k change can be written and reviewed fully in a couple of days without something slipping by

Godspeed. After heavily using these tools mainly for software engineering, the differences between models between companies, and even model releases within a company, it's obvious that many of the western AI companies are clinging onto doomerism as a form of PR and through washing their image through these cutesy personal AI models. Unless we somehow hit AGI within the next 5 years, investors are gonna want their money back and its not gonna come from selling the tokens of the models which OpenAI and Anthropic have spent billions in R&D training. I think there def is still some underrepped sectors in terms of energy, natural materials, and infra respectively though.

i suppose that the cohort of extremely wealthy people who work and develop and support it should have perhaps employed a different PR tactic than "look how many jobs it will eliminate for the already struggling plebians'

The developer working with the AI to write the code should be the expert.  In my experience, you get a much better product when you use AI as a pair programmer - you need to look through everything it spits out and understand it before submitting a PR.  Yes it takes longer than vibe coding some slop, quickly "testing" it and then saying "ship it!" But then you get a much better product.

The "shipping more code" bit threw me, because that's not something you'd usually establish as a metric, especially not as something you'd work toward. Just doing more indiscriminately is usually not a good thing. I'm also a developer and my experience has been very different. The more code people produce, the worse it gets. The amount of drift from one PR to another between devs working on the same repository is mind-boggling. I guess if you're working alone you've got nobody but yourself to worry about? Either way, AI has improved nothing about my job, it only made the bad parts worse.

Ok_Ground9015

I'm in on BMEA for the AH Phase 1 results PR. It's a high risk/ high reward play. The Phase 1 results are expected to be good. Likely a spike/sell the news type play. The volume is decent. Sell the top type play.. So your own DD.

i see this as a PR stunt to drum up midterm votes, but the real effect on the workforce is negligible: companies still hire H‑1Bs and can offshore jobs, so the American labor market stays unchanged.

A few reasons. The price of XRP is down 9% in the past week, Evernorth updated the share count, and there are "Company Units" which we didn't count earlier., Also, XRPN put out a PR yesterday to announce "the appointment of its new Chief Investment Officer and ***an updated number of shares of Class A common stock***. " Today Evernorth [put out an 8-K with the updated share counts](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2092592/000119312526419605/d118629d8k.htm). Shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of Closing: 23,638,882 Shares of Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding as of Closing: 31,392,746 Total Company Units issued and sold by Pathfinder in the private placements that consummated as of Closing: 22,953,128 Can't find a description of the "Company Units" yet, but guessing that is common + warrant. Those mostly went to Ripple. 55,031,628 total shares; but there are also the units, so 77,984,756 total shares if standard unit. Holding approximately 473 million XRP @ $1.36 per token = $643.28 million at current price. 643,280,000 / 77,984,756 = $8.25

Then they’re doing it like retards. There’s 0 brand recognition outside of ChatGPT. They’re changing the model names and theme constantly. There is 0 stickiness. Once you have the output you can take it wherever you want. Switching models is the easiest thing in the world. None of them give a shit about UX except Google who will probably win the whole thing just by leveraging their existing stickiness. They have the world’s worst PR team for anything but an IPO. There’s no company or set of CEOs with more people rooting against them right now. They’ve purposefully made their existence a political issue so now they’ve got to play that game forever and they’ve probably invited the wolf into the hen house on that one. Getting AI integrated into everything and everyone dependent on it doesn’t mean shit if they are not dependent specifically on you. They’ve spent billions creating an industry and they haven’t even given themselves a head start. When they inevitably try to jack up rates, Apple and Google are going to eat their consumer share and, shit, Microsoft or Oracle probably figure out a way to eat their enterprise share using their entrenchment.

No_Feeling920

He's a former gaming "journalist" and a PR "specialist" (whatever the fuck that means). He sure is a great smooth talker, but that alone tells you nothing about the depth and the quality of his underlying fundamentals analysis. Being skeptical towards the AI build-out/hype is IMO rational, but he just goes berserk and says nothing positive to balance out his arguments. Nothing is black-and-white, all-good or all-bad. There are always some shades of grey. Quality journalism contains an element of devil's advocate, steel manning etc.

Dont_Use_Ducks

It is because in the US having lots of money is being seen as higher in the ladder. Like you see TV priests telling people on tv that God wants the viewers to pay the priest all their money, while he is sitting in the yard of his own luxery villa. Telemarketing was respected way more than in most other countries. And the weird world of endorsements, where people say who they support before elections. Where I live, if a celeb says they endorse a certain candidate, most people will think 'so, what? keep it to yourself', while even the news in the US makes endorsements a big deal. It seems harmless, but it is a legal way to bribe famous or 'important' people into PR and their influence on elections seems to be effective. To me, and it is probably exaggerated, it seems like the loop is something like 'this guy is rich, let's give him more money' and therefor 'this guy is poor, let's keep an eye on him and don't give him money'.

I’ve been swing trading for months. Buying value non AI stocks and shorting the market (and yes losing money), but I will continue because I’ve done a lot of research and that’s what I believe. Sounds like you are believing billionaires which isn’t very wise. Everything is a PR game.

Well numbers and financial analysis aside, yesterday that Chinese firm pulled out the exact cloned BS!%@ poopoo noisy PR crap stunt vid of any materiality, out of the DeepSeek playbook who used it against NVDA about 1.5 years ago. These Chinese firms must feel real desesperate. NVDA recovered write quickly and now look at where NVDA is, just 1.5 year after that DeepSeek news that rocked wrongly the world and provided a once in a lifetime cheap entry point for late people. If history repeats itself like NVDA, BUT I'M NOT SAYING IT WILL, then y'all know what to do! I personally believe it's an extremely strong signal.

It’s pure PR. Stocks go up. People think they got something free, and by the time they can cash it in , it’s worthless.

> It just solved hundreds of open math research problems. No, it didn't. OpenAI just dumped hundreds of them out without verification. Multiple have already been retracted or proven incorrect. Keep falling for their PR moves, though. > "Some guy" is one of the most influential people in the tech industry. I don't care if he's Alan fucking Turing. Why would I give a shit what he's seeing on his twitter timeline? Who cares? I just want data. Actual data. Not a tweet. Numbers. Studies. Anything. You guys just post these walls of text about your own experiences or you link to twitter posts of other people doing the same thing. Give me something real. Anything.

WorldLeader

I'm actually trying to be helpful here by warning you that your priors are outdated. Tech companies (especially in SF) are deathly afraid of public backlash from AI growing, so they have all shut the fuck up about what's actually going on behind closed doors and continuing to plow ahead. The composition of companies has changed a ton, and entire divisions are getting chewed up and laid off, but they are absolutely NOT attributing any of this to AI publicly. They are lying to you, but not in the way you think. It's absolutely AI causing these layoffs and reorgs and hiring freezes. They just cannot afford any of the negative PR to say or publish anything about it.

UnethicallyMaterial

Always skeptical of these PR pieces hitting right when the stock needs a push, feels like they're testing the waters for a raise before anything's actually built. The Houston drone frame angle is interesting though, if they can actually land a DoD sub-contract or something through that location it stops being a penny stock pipe dream real quick. Been burned too many times by composite companies promising automated facilities then diluting into oblivion, so I'm watching from the sidelines for now. Anyone actually dug into whether YMAT has existing reveneu or is this still pre-revenue hype?

EyeNakaNaka

the "20 miners" number... source? they haven't disclosed fleet count yet. DCMT just closed and the nov 3 PR says mining started, that's all we've got. real question is power cost per coin and expansion timeline, not a comp to LUXX at 10x the valuation

Glittering_Dig3798

Banning paying users for being "mean" to your chatbot doesn't bode well for Anthropic's decision making. Their PR has been an endless shitshow. I bet they've become a laughing stock in tech and wall st.

wilson0x4d

global events outside of man's control and PR news are the only two "reliable" types of news for a trader. unfortunately that's such a small percentage of broadcast media because media outlets are forced to produce content to keep viewership numbers up. even bloomberg peddles 'hype' and 'drivel' now and again, unfortunately no news giant is immune.

GrapefruitDue9103

No you don't, all you need is to begin non-cooperation as a government cannot function without the people. If a majority of US citizens and PR would just stop, literally do nothing, the entire administration would crumble almost instantly. If no one shows up to work, no one enforces his stupid bullshit policies and stops enabling their actions, it would be over in a heartbeat and the entire administration would collapse. Like a general strike essentially, taking civil disobedience to its conclusion, but that would actually take brave souls to accomplish and y'all are way too endoctrinated to do so

Significant-Tea-8801

i think this is mostly a PR move, not a big market shift. it only cuts the green‑card hook, H1Bs still flow, so companies keep hiring abroad when that’s cheaper. most tech folks will still get those visas, just without the PERM path, meaning a longer wait or a different route. for the few already in the queue it slows them, but ultimately the green card flow still happens.

Senior-Purchase-538

They do have some real big customers though. Lets see if the pivot to mainly SaaS will turn this sinking stinker around. A little PR about Amazon and its gone. https://preview.redd.it/hyufcq12liuh1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=55220175075bc7296e6c97784c04a50e52b97efe

You could see a bump if a good PR report comes out involving their partnership with Palantir Foundry. I think whats more likely is they are an acquisition target for someone like Andruil

Individual-Muscle102

looks like a classic PR play more than a stock‑dump tactic—this 800 MHz chunk does a lot for cross‑sell coverage, but that timing is purely a nice headline before the lock‑up, not a cryptic sell‑off signal

PassableForAWombat

I specifically stated SWE instead of coder for the title callout, because that’s basically where the AI “demand” is. I am admittedly only a journeyman for coding and not professionally, and only use AI there to create my flowcharts for logic. I’ve seen the PR reqs some of the recent updates. I’m sorry.

Weekly-Mission-7622

i’ve been looking at the 800‑MHz band for a bit: it’s the low‑band spectrum that actually gives indoor and dead‑zone coverage, so for Starlink Mobile it’s a pretty big win position wise. and i get the timing angle – announcing it just before the lock‑up pops does smooth the perception of any potential dump, and we’ve seen the stock not tumble when lock‑ups expired before. so it’s less a pump & dump and more a smart PR nudge that may have kept the momentum alive while the real work of building nano‑cells and doors still a long road, but the headline definitely helped keep the price on a positive trajectory.

I mean, Musk is only the bank roll here. He doesnt do any actual work. Its why he invests and takes over compsnies, then pretends he built them. Its okay to do that, but to pretend hes a super genius or some shit is dumb as hell. Hes killed the reputation of a lot of his companies between bad QA and PR over the last decade and has tried to spread nationalism to multiple countries.

shiny0metal0ass

Dude, you don't get it. Their CFO was in the news talking about how they use ChatGPT to run their numbers. This isn't a "top AI company", these are the same fuck-nuggets that couldn't close a PR.

Few_Organization9094

I would need to see where this “pledge” actually goes. A lot of maga hot air gets blown about their philanthropy but a lot of it is B.S. Time will tell. My bet is this is just another PR stunt while they support the Trump agenda of defunding education, healthcare and many other important government programs - to fund their tax cuts for billionaires.

zeruch

No, they want the PR of appearing to do so, but otherwise will either A. write very diluted, meaningless policy, and/or B. write something that boatanchors their competitors as much if not moreso than themselves. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either in on the grift, or deeply gullible.

Aware_Result_5361

1. THAT isn’t aging, lmao 2. If you think this was blind altruism, you are naive. You should see the 9.7 billion dollar contract Dell landed with the US government in May of this year. This is just a $6.25 billion dollar tax deduction that was meant to buy them some good PR, which has hilariously backfired instead.

gargeug

Wow, you clearly feel this is some anti Indian movement and are coming off like some triggered iinsecure diot. You realize there have been structural changes in the department of labor geared for a long fight and this is the first shot. The government is putting their foot down that these tech companies cant subsidize their profits using US taxpayers. Our utilities skyrocket for datacenters while we pay unemployment for those laid off while they fraudulantly hire H1B workers without actually trying to find US hires first as the law requires. You quote a microsoft PR response as proof against the claims of a well funded US govt dept who has presented sealed evidence strong enough that this major action was sanctioned to move forward. You dont seem as intelligent as you say you are.

yes, I know but having followed this development for 11 years , the investment thesis has jumped into strong territory since yesterday as confirmed by the latest NWBO ( rare ) PR.

Hard to suss out if those are marketing stunts dressed up like genuine news. Or if they were facilitated outbreaks for the sake of "oh it's so powerful" PR. We were getting unrelenting AI CEO proclamations for so long that it's genuinely hard to tell now.

I don't think they have recovered the customers they lost and the changes are too new to know numbers yet. But when a big place like McDonald's fucks up and has to have PR out there about prices coming down it's not a good sign for them.

rweber87

Ok_Ground9015

I've switched from buying to holding and watching VEEA. We're gonna need some more news on that merger. Possibly stick some of the merger news in with the compliance PR.

Ok_Ground9015

There is nothing, but positive news here and zero percent chance that the CEO has any remorse for the shorts. Compliance PR on the way. More good news from the TROLLEE Agreement for Phased Deployment of VeeaONE to 1,000 Unattended Stores, Smart Community Agreement with La Estadia Community for Agentic Real-time Aware and Secure Community, and possibly some other big news that we are not yet privy to.

Ok_Ground9015

Because they just became fully Nasdaq compliant yesterday and a PR usually follows that. Compliance PRs are historically bullish and usually cause a spike. Add the squeeze potential and it could get out of control.

Ok_Ground9015

VEEA compliance PR on the way. It looks to be bottomed out here. That PR should send it. The shorts have not covered yet. I still think it will see $7+. It really depends on if the shorties are willing to stick this out or accept their defeat.

Ok_Ground9015

Yep. The infamous walls at 50 cents and $1 are historically troubling. Without epic PR, high volume, and retail who knows how to hold, they are near insurmountable. 

Charming_Program_651

but i think there's also a PR angle—after that big loss spill last year, people started calling RH 'the casino for options' and the execs wanted to clean up before the next quarterly report.

oaksapollo

Yep, historically when they hold a CAC meeting, they make a decision faster (usually within 1 year). However, what is unique to Lucid's situation is just putting the transcript together took 4 months, which is 3 months longer than usual, so the transcript likely pushed the timeline out by a whole quarter. If a decision normally would've come early September 2026, now we're looking at early December 2026, in which case, it likely gets pushed to 2027. I'm just assuming it's a January event and if we hear before then, I'll be pleasantly surprised. With the 9/22 PR though, the story has really shifted to revenue growth, so the whole Moldx thing is not as critical.

If they can get Jalen Brunson to release a signature shoe, this can easily turn into a $100 stock in my opinion. Nike has also had some bad luck. They missed out on a lot of young stars and instead went all in on Zion Williamson and Caitlin Clark. Nike has shown they are willing to go in big when it comes to a star. Another bull case on Nike is if Caitlin Clark can become a winning player. She had an underwhelming season, with her team finishing as the 8th seed and having a first-round exit. Her fans will only show up if she gives them something to be excited about, but CC is still a good player. Zion, unfortunately, is stuck with bad management and coaching. He would have been better off getting drafted by the Knicks like everyone had hoped. He’s still a generational player, but he’s stuck on a bad team, and he also has a bad PR team. Brunson already said no, but you never know. I would say someone looking to take on some added risk could allot 0.3% of their total portfolio to Nike. Nike has shown they are willing to take on big risks. Big risks equal big rewards, and I can see this company trying to go out fighting. If you believe in the WNBA, this is also a good stock.

Getting PR in HK may not be that hard. They have clearly defined criteria like working 7 years there to qualify. But Singapore? If you think getting PR is not that hard, you clearly don't know the details. And in any case, you need to get SG citizenship (not PR) and then renounce US citizenship to escape from 15% tax. Getting SG citizenship is near impossible nowadays. You'll have to stay there first for at least 10 years to have even a chance.. and by that time you'd have missed lot of other opportunities compared to staying in the US.

XRPN is [holding almost $730 million worth of XRP](https://www.coingecko.com/en/treasuries/xrp). It is hard to tell how many shares XRPN has, the business combination won't close until the 7th, so they won't file a Super 8-K for at least a week. However, [check out the table on page 12 of the prospectus](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2044009/000119312526371516/d944435ddefm14a.htm), which shows total shares outstanding at the close, excluding warrants. The XRPN said the cash from [trust was about $48 million](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/shareholders-approve-evernorth-business-combination-transaction-and-related-private-placements-have-raised-over-1-billion-nasdaq-trading-under-xrpn-expected-to-begin-on-october-8-302895260.html#:~:text=approximately%20%2448%20million%20of%20trust%20proceeds). The estimated redemption price was $10.52, so that would be about 4.56 million public shares left after redemptions. If that table is correct, XRPN might have 20 million total shares when it closes. That would be $37.50 per share in XRP. However, again, business combination doesn't close until the 7th. PR and SEC filing didn't say anything about redemptions or redemption reversals; if a lot of reversals occur, the XRP per share drops.

Other than "bad CEO choices," Zuck/Meta isn't a great comparison. Zuck is a PR clown/nightmare who gets a VR brainworm every few years and uses his position/power to spend more R&D money than he should on his bad ideas. But he's not a business idiot. But Meta never was challenged by COVID; they benefitted from it tremendously. META did not choose to cancel a primary revenue channel and eliminate free customer acquisition/marketing. Nike did. This was a NKE Board room level fcukup that allowed Donohoe to kill retail brick & mortar. Their BOD hired him and bought into the stupidity of killing off their retail sales channel, which is also a huge part of their customer acquisition and market development. Stock deserves to get crushed as a consequence. In a competitive business with a premium product, new customer acquisition is one of the hardest things to do. Even harder in a market when your fungible product with no moat costs 5x the competition, where your ONLY advantage is brand recognition. NKE completely killed themselves by taking their products off the top shelves at every shoe store everywhere. To kids in middle/lower income families walking around in shopping malls after their parent dropped them off for "free summer camp at the mall," the swoosh was a pinnacle to aspire to. The glowing golden prize at the end of the quest of what "personal success" means to five-to-twenty year old child. Well now that Donohoe yanked their products. NKE is no longer a prize to obtain, and a half-decade of those kids won't aspire to don the swoosh once they get their first part-time job paychecks as mid-late teens. I wore Nike's once as a kid for the same reason, but that was long before they were 5x the cost of other shoes that I outgrew or wore out just the same as any other. Decades later on fixed income, I buy my $25 sneakers from Walmart. NKE will be a business school case study for decades.

GLAS really seems like they designed their whole PR strategy modeled after Tesla around sucking in dumb tech investor money. The press releases are granular "technical" updates on the greenhouses, to make the investors feel smart. The constant reminders they are supposedly giga-scale (really missed a big opportunity there to call them Giga greenhouses) and disruptive. CEOs are not very charismatic, but Marc Chodes did well enough to fill the role of provocateur.

OPNW could be interesting. Was VRME and changed ticker symbol this morning after completing merger with OpenWorld. Float lockup gets released in stages with only 4M(30%) shares tradable for the first 60 days. Down 25% from open but official PR just came out an hour ago.

OKLO has not had a PR statement in 5 months or something, I heard (from OKLOstock sub) that last time they did this they made a major announcement that led to large green dildos. I am a bagholder and down 30% with OKLO though :(

Have they? Your link is just an angry blog post disguised as a PR from a rescheduling opponent. Having 280E liabilities on the balance sheet or seeking refunds is not the same as what you’re saying.

He has never spoken a word of truth. Every single sentence from him is for PR, with zero regard for truthfulness. Sometimes, his words happen to be truth. That is like a broken clock displaying the correct time. He only ever speaks to attempt to make himself seem good or others to seem bad.

& [another $CAPS PR](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/887151/000143774926031664/ex_1021159.htm) 🤙

Pad delivery and first flight are not the same milestone. Hungry Hippo testing is a real hardware step, but Neutron's value is cadence after flight one, not the maiden date itself. Beck's framing around balancing first-launch readiness with systems that do not need re-qual by flight ten is the adult version of the story. A slip into early 2027 is annoying for the tape. It matters less if the vehicle that finally flies is built for high cadence instead of a one-off PR launch.

I am very aware of MDAI. I disagree. As I state in the post, depression and suicidality are on the national crisis list for the FDA and are a priority for the military. The PR talks about the fame changer this drug showed to be in the prior trial and will be if successful in this upcoming trial.

All too common but the real story is you following X garbage site and taking Logan seriously. Lara Logan is a fraud herself.. and Joseph Burkett, is tied to US military intel. Back in 2011 both used her news presenter role both helped boost the lie she's was sexually assaulted in Tahrir Square by a mob celebrating when Mubarak was forced out. She was manhandled and bruised but not wildly sexually assaulted as claimed. The U.S. right wing news and Bush era guys in key positions exaggerated what happened and used it to demonize Muslims and paint her basically as a white woman targeted by Arab savages. Burkett had just worked at a big PR firm pushing the Iraq war at the time before shifting to defense contractor work and knew how to spin the story. What news stories could achieve to shape public opinion by a few key people then, is what social media does today- creates distorted or entirely fake news that serves as propaganda and disinformation. X specializes in boosting that and giving them legitimacy for those unsavvy enough to scrutinize sources and angles. Most users aren't able or curious enough to know that, many are so young they hardly know how bad X is or how Twitter was never the biased, monetized hellscape that Musk intentionally shaped it into. The Lincoln Group was a strategic communications and public relations firm hired by the U.S. Department of Defense during the Iraq War. Their primary task involved "information operations," which included planting pro-U.S. articles and stories written by American military personnel into Iraqi newspapers to shape public opinion. \[[1](https://www.gawkerarchives.com/lara-logan-s-husband-was-a-propagandist-for-the-u-s-mi-1462275766), [2](https://www.mediamatters.org/cbs/newsweek-was-lara-logans-husband-involved-60-minutes-botched-benghazi-story)\]

Where is the “broke contain and hacked government/corporation” PR that normally accompanies these types of rollouts.

The gap between a demo batch and actual scale is massive, and most of these announcements deliberately blur that line. I'd look for any mention of gigawatt-hour targets or specific plant capacity numbers, without those it's just a lab project with good PR. The CATL chair saying the chance of millions of vehicles before 2030 is very small says more than all the 2027 timelines combined.

It’s almost impossible to get a Singapore PR 1. You can enter on a work visa and hope the government approved your PR(chances are very less) 2. You invest 20 million dollars or so in Singapore. If you have say 100 million sure this is a good deal. Eduardo Severin one of the Facebook founders did this.

Once you become a US citizen your global income becomes taxable. That includes capital gains. Doesn’t matter if you become a PR is Singapore or HK. As long as you’re a US citizen , it’s all taxable

There’s no requirement to be a Singapore citizen or PR to enjoy the capital gains tax exemption in Singapore. Source: Singaporean

Because it’s one of the best valued penny stocks I’ve ever seen, also with an explosive share structure. At this point, they can’t shake the tree much further, & there’s 3 months before an imminent risk of a RS. They just PR’ed decreased debt in a rising rate environment. I ended yesterday with 34K shares, free, just from buying the ugly dips & trimming into strength. I think I’ll keep accumulating from here, see what I can end up with.

* **Citizenship-based taxation:** Unlike almost every other country, the US taxes its citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live. Moving to Singapore or Hong Kong changes nothing for a US citizen unless they formally renounce their US citizenship. * **The Exit Tax (Section 877A):** You can't just hand in your passport and walk away tax-free. If you're wealthy (net worth over $2M), renouncing triggers a massive "exit tax" where the IRS taxes all your unrealized capital gains as if you sold everything the day before. * **Singapore forbids dual citizenship:** To become a Singaporean citizen, you must renounce your original citizenship, and getting PR definitely doesn't exempt a US passport holder from the IRS.

This is my .02 cents but I listen to him less because he’s an expert and has unique insights but more so because he makes the material easy to consume and I agree with his leanings and perspective on it (similar to Ed). He clearly knows his stuff. Does he copy things from people? Sure! His segment on the OpenAI hacking episode was pretty low quality slop. Ed’s episode on this was great because they clearly destroyed the whole narrative the AI happened to think their poison (I felt this whole thing was BS). I forgot how I actually started listening to Patrick Boyle. It def wasn’t because he happened to be a prof at Kings College for some period of time. I seriously thought that he was a hedge fund / finance dude who had a side hustle doing podcasts. Same thing about Ed: he’s a PR dude who clearly is clever and connect things together and make these topics easy to consume. He brings good guests over and I find that I learn something new every time I listen to him and Patrick. An Ed and Patrick mash up would be interesting!

Leaked on Reuters, it is like a PR publication but with extra steps

A PR is essentially a change / feature going into the system. Pre AI you'd usually target \~1 / day. I'm doing almost 100 / day via leveraging it.

Same. Our senior architect & developer and I (i'm the delivery manager/ops VP) spent almost 6 months building out our processes, guardrails, policies, practices, documentation, CI/CD process etc before we connected Claude code to anything. While it does OCCASIONALLY overengineer stuff, its made us better at what we do. We don't know it from a "i talk to it and it tells me stuff", we use every aspect of the toolset. Every time I feel like theres not much else I can learn, theres either a new model that drops, combined features, or my Architect finds a new use case that makes us 1% better at something else. The speed is just absolutely insane. My team could have done all of the work and code Claude is doing, just would take a lot longer. The human in the loop is key, and he still has to approve all PR's that are tagged with moderate to high complexity (or if our client is a regulated business). Low complexity stuff, it just runs once we get a ticket in from the customer, lets us know its done, we do a quick check, push the button and out it goes. Could we function without it? 100%. Without it, could we operate like a team of 20 with only 10 people? Absolutely not. We have tried doing more with openAi, but ultimately, at least in my opinion, its just not the better of the two.

Another dilution is PR, right?

Ah love a theoretical paper on assumptions they MIGHT be able to on a roadmap. Conveniently times with a stock PR movement. Offering soon?
