Imagine you’re a 10 person startup and instead of paying a few hundred $$ for an invoicing tool, and endpoint security tool, an expenses and time tracking tool you get your 6-8 developers to vibe code those from scratch too and maintain them forever costing thousands in Claude credits and 10s of thousands in salaries. That’s definitely a great use of your investors’ funds and totally not a good way to fudge your taxes, lose data, get hacked and end up being sued because the engineers, stretched way too thin, let Claude commit tax fraud on your behalf.

This was just such an unbelievably bad take from investors and people like Matt Stoller, the latter of whom might know monopoly enforcement but don’t know software engineering (or the Gell Man Amnesia effect apparently)
