This was pretty much my conclusion while reading the article too.

Just to extend your point - chinese car manufacturers are not only producing more cars, they're innovating at a faster pace too. While I'm not an expert, there is enough and more on social media around this. Eg: https://x.com/dhh/status/2113500613082329576?a=fscIadYr4U1xm...

I’m a software developer with 14+ years of experience. I’ve worked at companies of all shapes and sizes - from fast growth unicorn startups to FAANG (well, atleast AG). I’ve also worked in all layers of the stack, wearing different hats as a backend engineer, infrastructure engineer & full stack engineer. So I’m as comfortable with running cloud infra, optimising it, or leveraging it to build applications & apps that scale.

I am fortunate enough to witness the tech abstractions we take for granted today get built out as I grew in the industry. I’ve gone from managing MySQL, HBase, Kafka clusters on VMs & bare metal to now marveling at how it’s outsourced to the cloud via a prompt. But I still fret the small stuff - because I know quite a bit about what can go wrong.

Presently, I work as a freelancer. I work with founders & leadership teams of startups to help out with organisational velocity challenges. My speciality is to help build systems that enable companies to continue shipping fast as they scale in the next phase of growth, be it 1-10 journeys or 10-100 journeys. Systems don’t get built in isolation; it’s also important to preserve what already works (tech & culture wise) - so bringing in the best practices learnt at BigTech to your unique startup is something I can help with too. I like to joke that I like to do the boring stuff. Stuff that you know is important, but don’t want to hire a full time principal engineer for - cleaning up systems, setting them up for next phase of growth and making them amenable to AI first harnesses.

TL;DR: If you’ve read a recent post by Bart Butler (Proton’s CTO), that’s exactly what I help with.

Personally, I don’t run multiple sessions / agents (apart from the one claude code spawns on it’s own). But it seems you need an agent workspace manager - perhaps something like gastown? https://github.com/gastownhall/gastown

True. This was written with the context of Google which was, to a large extent and up until very recently, a good example of the resilience and magic a slime mold can be.

It is not true today, and as you mentioned "fundamentally incompatible with a next-quarter profit driven.."
