I'm currently ensconsed in a project which is has devolved to having ChatCPT critique the work that Claude is writing at my request. ChatGPT is great at theorizing what should be done, but seems brain-dead when asked to execute. Claude writes excellent code, but seems absent-minded about nailing all the details. Together, they make a good team, but f I only had to pick one it would be Claude (partly because ChatGPT is a "Chatty-Kathy" and is far more verbose than I have the patience for. That said, what started as a small coding task is now running 40,000 lines of code I couldn't imaging being "personally" able to accomplish (and, I'm guessing, would require a team of programmers working for years to create).

So, if a technical company keeps the "boss" who understands what is required to be accomplished and fires all the subordinates to save money - what happens if all firms do the same and bosses start to "attenuate-out" as they age?
