I had this same experience recently. Claude has become relatively slow but I didn't realize that because I was only using Claude for months

I'm not convinced this is going to be an issue. It assumes that models will continue to be differentiated the same way in the future and that the costs of code generation are going to remain high.

I think those systems will still be important. I'm just not sure if markdown is going to be the future there or we'll come up with better contracts and ways of orchestrating these tools and agents

001

Casey Collins @caseyc.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

How long will we use those markdown files versus relying on agents to call other agents to do a specific task? I assume as the models get better the need for those markdown files will go down

Excited to share that I’ve been promoted to Director of Engineering at HubSpot! I had no idea how impactful my decision to join HubSpot would be when I was looking for jobs as a college senior. These past 10 years have been a wild ride and I’m looking forward to taking this next step.

I hear what you're saying, but that isn't backed up by data. Waymos are much safer than human drivers for everyone on the road including cyclists and pedestrians

The gross "AI washing" of tech layoffs continue. It sounds much better to say AI creates these magical new efficencies than to own that your business is struggling

Its both a massive up skilling effort and a change to the processes, ceremonies, and tools that product teams use day to day. I think there is going to need to be even tighter collaboration and communication between teams

010

Casey Collins @caseyc.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Yeah I agree the transition is just starting. Engineers definitely need to take on more responsibility for understanding the business problems and requirements for what they are building. I think the question is what that looks like practically.

I was trying to understand how this was a joke about the Red Sox owner for too long

Most of the discussions I'm finding so far are about getting engineers to shift their mental model or working patterns, but that obvious 2nd order effect is that teams are going to need to plan faster

110

Casey Collins @caseyc.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Is anyone talking about what the future of product teams look like with generative AI? As I'm getting back to work after my sabbatical its clear to me that we need to change the way product teams work. Increased engineering velocity and output mean more pressure on PM and UX.

Casey Collins @caseyc.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

But where are those chips going to come from? It seems like demand is going to outstrip supply for years. TSMC is the only serious producer of this kind of chip and it is going to take them years to scale up

A year ago, I thought LLMs were kind of neat but not that useful. I saw the code autocomplete and thought, meh. Last summer just flipped. I never ever thought I would see automated code generation like we see now. I know there’s baggage but you need to know the coders are being real about this

Really enjoying using Conductor for coding at work and on my personal projects. I rarely need to open the IDE anymore but it’s there if I need it

Good luck! A couple recommendations: 1. Try to find a way to force people out of their normal workflow. It speeds up the adjustment. 2. Have people share what's working for them so others can learn.

Yeah I think that's a much better comparison. I wonder if that means the future will favor devs with good product instincts

But for closed source models there isn't an incentive to use OpenRouter right? It seems like Chinese models have surged in the "open weight models" category, but not necessarily adoption as a whole

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"
