Vibe coding for teams, thoughts to date

I’ve got Claude Code running in the background while I tab between writing this, sipping a Powers, and fielding phone calls from a team slightly panicked about the end of quarter QBR. This blog post is being written on May 27th, 2025, things may have changed by the time you read it. It was a toss up whether to post this on Notes on engineering leadership, or here, but eventually decided this was too loose for even Notes low standards. You’ve been warned (or at least given a context window with which to understand the remaining blog post).

I’ve got Claude Code running in the background while I tab between writing this, sipping a Powers, and fielding phone calls from a team slightly panicked about the end of quarter QBR.

( “batteries included” definitely won that argument) LLMs radically lower the cost of writing code (already the cheapest part of software development).
