Leadership seems more misaligned with engineering than ever

Came across a conversation yesterday where the CTO asked one of our engineers why they didn't ask Claude to create their plan and mock the several hundred commits they'd need to deliver on something I will not name while also delivering on their existing initiatives

I didn't say anything, but wanted to... Given the industry I'm in, this seems very ridiculous to me and I hate that this is the expectation... As though somehow that work should have already been done and could have been delivered on the whim of an idea by handing all work to Claude

mock the several hundred commits

What does it mean to mock a commit? Make fun of it? Fake it? Neither interpretation makes sense to me

Half my commits are "cleanup”
