All employees come in 5 levels, choose wisely:
Level 1 - tells you there's a problem
Level 2 - tells you there's a problem and what caused it
Level 3 - tells you there's a problem, what caused it, and options to fix it
Level 4 - tells you there's a problem, what caused it, options to fix it, and which one they'd pick
Level 5 - tells you there was a problem, what caused it, how they fixed it, and future proof’d it
Interviewed an engineer friend who works at a traditional major bank.
Very interesting observations:
- Junior engineers are not allowed to push code with AI. Claude Code & Codex are banned from
- Senior engineers can freely use Claude Code & Codex, but only to check their and others work.
- If you push AI-generated PRs, you will get a bad rep within the organization.
- They still have a QA department that does all the reliability on their software.
- He only uses Claude for his personal projects, which there is a lack of, because he works 9 to 7.
Sincerely asking what happens to these people.
If you are not using the frontier technology, it's either that the institution gets replaced, or that eventually, these people get laid off to realize suddenly that the world has moved on, and they just stopped in the pre-Claude Code era.
