Description
Stetskov's diagnosis of Claude Code engineering culture: AI writes the code, AI reviews the code, AI checks the deployment, and when it breaks the answer is more AI. The loop has no exit condition. Post-leak, Cherny confirmed the philosophy: 'solve the problem by finding ways to go faster… more automation & Claude checking the results.' Phil Sheldrake's LinkedIn framing popularized the metaphor.
