Junior finance staffer ships to prod in week two by driving Claude Code live
curious_vii · x · 2026-11-04
An AI consultant working with a finance team shares a striking case: a junior member being upskilled started shipping code to production by week two of an eight-week engagement. During an intense conversation with the CFO, she kept a terminal open and updated the application with Claude Code nearly in real time — 80-90% of their discussion was illegible to the consultant. The takeaway: teaching business people to close the loop with AI that fast is far easier than giving a deployed engineer all that context.
