My own company hired a young goon of a man to spearhead their AI initiative. Lots of smiles and arrogance from him. Fast forward 2 months and reality has hit. Weekly meetings asking for feedback draw blank stares as employees explain that Claude can’t do shit to help their workload. This kid is starting to sweat. I bet he’ll be gone by the summer. Hilarious.

Unfortunately at my company leads have no insight into employees claude code caps, and no one has ever complained until now. Apparently some people were basically running with insane caps on CC (25k+), if you asked for it you were approved. Which lead to some people doing insane things on CC for no purpose.
Just setting up better SOPs around using AI for coding is going to help them a ton. They can chalk off the sunk cost to a "learning phase", with now being the time to use the lesson learnt to formulate some future-looking standard operating procedures. No need to suddenly go cold-turkey on AI. My 2 cents.
