Claude Code creator says these are the 3 principles he shares with every member of his team (www.businessinsider.com)

Boris Cherny, head of Anthropic’s Claude, recently outlined three foundational principles guiding his team's approach to AI development: leveraging AI to automate work, underfunding projects to encourage reliance on AI tools, and emphasizing speed in product development. Cherny believes that small teams are more efficient, as they must depend on Claude for various tasks, leading to streamlined processes. He noted, "If you have Claude, you can really automate a lot of work," highlighting the significance of AI in enhancing productivity. Cherny urged CTOs to avoid premature cost-cutting and instead invest in providing engineers with abundant AI resources, especially tokens, to maximize creative outcomes. This strategy is pivotal, as it allows teams to develop innovative solutions without immediate concerns about costs, contrasting with the caution some companies face regarding rising AI usage expenses. Lastly, with major entities like Anthropic and OpenAI rapidly updating their coding tools, Cherny emphasized the need for speed in the competitive tech landscape, reiterating that Claude remains central to accelerating their development efforts. By cultivating these principles, Anthropic continues to push the boundaries of AI efficiency.
