The weird thing about augmented coding: we spent an annoying amount of time getting the genie to conform. A lot of focus is on our tooling and less on the actual business problem.

Be very wary of AI suggestions in (legacy) code. Don't offload your thinking.
Suppose you have a legacy code base and you want to quickly understand what to focus on. An easy idea is to ask Claude:

According to @theregister.com, Microsoft's latest SEC filing suggests OpenAI lost $11.5bn in Q3 2025
OpenAI reportedly did ~$4.3bn revenue in H1 2025, so perhaps $2-2.5bn/quarter. Would mean they're spending roughly 5-6x their revenue.
