$350k/year engineer tries Claude for the first time, finishes a week's work in a day

The poster shares that a software engineer friend earning $350k+ tried Claude for the first time this week and knocked out his entire week's work in one day — "my job has become just waiting for Claude to finish now." Most of his coworkers barely use their GitHub Copilot credits beyond unit tests. The takeaway: X is a tiny AI bubble; many people whose literal job is deploying AI agents have barely touched these tools.
