Summary

Anthropic employee Fiona shares the company's way of working: code is no longer the bottleneck, processes are simplified, teams are flat, and product managers first act as individual contributors. The article also compares the software delivery approach of early Microsoft, which relied on CDs.

Recorded a video version, Fiona talked about how they work at Anthropic. - The bottleneck has shifted; coding is no longer the most expensive part, processes are unnecessary - A six-month roadmap might be too long - Team composition and role ambiguity - Keep the organization flat, deep dogfood testing, let product managers first serve as individual contributors Additionally, another interesting point is that in her early days at Microsoft when making software, software releases relied on CD-ROMs, and the delivery date was a hard constraint because the software needed to be sent for production, burning, packaging, etc. Times have changed so much. New college graduates nowadays may not have heard of CDs, just like the floppy disks we mentioned back in school. Back then, when buying a computer, people would even specifically buy laptops with CD playback support.

@VincentLogic: Anthropic’s talk had some solid insights. Previously, building Agents required manually implementing routing, retry mechanisms, and context compression.
