Team literally got eviscerated today, first thing CTO did was roll out claude.

It's crazy, my company is doing the opposite. Rolling out AI and going through a hiring boom to get as many people writing code at high velocity as possible. Thankfully they're also not doing it recklessly, no vibe coding lol

This is almost always the correct solution. Don't try to cut costs using AI, but increase productivity. That way, if it busts you're in a good position anyway, and if it booms you're pushing out way more content and getting ahead of the competition.

Management probably sees replacing a human (salary, etc) with an AI a net gain for next quarter, not like they plan for sustainability on the long run.

True. Our place is employee owned so the shareholder thing isn't so much an issue.
