Anthropic Claude Code product lead Cat Wu argues that AI has collapsed the time from idea to prototype from months to about a week, making product taste more important than writing code faster.
The interview highlights:
- Claude changed daily engineering workflows
- Cat Wu says Claude Tag now lands about 65% of product engineering PRs
- human review still remains for some parts of the workflow
- Anthropic is adding safety measures for Auto Mode
- frontier models still have important limits
Her broader point is that the new bottleneck is choosing the right problem and building enough verification around the answer, not just generating code.
