Then you should have more defined roles, even if organisationally they're the same, i.e. there's very clear expectations of differences in salaries (and business impact) between junior, mid and senior developers.

I was an AI-skeptic for a while but it is embarrassing to not even try it. I'm still on the more manual end of AI use. My prompts are very small, targeted changes. I still review every line as though a human wrote it. I know exactly what I want and I've got my prompts and claude.MD at a point where it gives me that most of the time. I probably only write 5% of the code now.

Are you happy with the final decision on Cloudflare?

That's a pretty big stretch. I'm a very competent backend developer and product owner, but a bang-average front developer. It's okay to lean on AI for your weaknesses.

Right, but doesn't take away from the fact that Java maintains backwards compatibility and so all these legacy decisions will generally forever exist.

but still has all the historic bad decisions of itself

Incredibly useful for our SaaS. We are a niche CRM and it's very useful for our non-technical users to be able to connect our platform's data to Claude/Copilot which they then combine with other MCPs.

Advantages over our normal API: - Much easier to provide LLM-specific explanations and descriptions to all of the tools and parameters - None of our clients know what a CLI is - We re-use our MCP for our own platform's agent which gives it a neatly defined list - It handles the full OAuth flow in the application

I'll admit though it is VERY similar to a REST API, and I could see them merging at some point.

Out of interest when did you last use the desktop app? I am a huge daily user of it and apart from very minimal bugs, it works perfectly for me. Wasn't always the case, so they've definitely made improvements

Are you sure? We have enterprise and I couldn't even access our repo briefly.

You don't need that stuff for setting up a company, I've only come across those if we are going through due diligence with a (B2B) client.

In a sea of AI products, the brand is still powerful though. Would I have clicked this if not for the Midjourney name? Probably not

As in the changes its made? You can do that on Claude Code but by having it do it on a worktree and just checking out that worktree. Then you can see the change file(s) in your preferred IDE

My mum doesn't know how to use a cli.
