> I'm not joking and this isn't funny. We have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. There are various options, not everyone is aligned... I gave Claude Code a description of the problem, it generated what we built last year in an hour.

I am sure that whatever work was put into actually trying to implement that, was crucial in order to instruct Claude what to do. System design doesn't come by itself.

We later found out they fed it the actual work done. Multiple versions of it. This is why this "we built X in an hour" BS needs to stop.

yeah they later admitted it was wildly over-exaggerated

		they were not joking but... joking? when big tech is all rolled into a giant ball, wrapped with money and duct tape, it's hard to get these jokes.

Likely not.

I am also building some agents. It is almost hands off at this point.
