What I Tell Every CTO Before They Touch Claude Code or the Anthropic API

Summary

The main theme is the critical need to define "good quality work" for AI systems, moving beyond human tendencies to optimize for social cohesion over correctness. The discussion highlights that AI project failures stem from an inability to define what correctness means in prompts and AI outputs, drawing a parallel to shifting product priorities. The practical takeaway is that everyone, especially when prompting AI, must explicitly define and measure correctness, as it is fundamental to improving AI performance.
