# Unpopular opinion: Boris Cherny from Anthropic annoys me. He published a guide that maps AI adoption in organizations into five stages, from 0 to 4. How easy it is to share a guide on how to burn as many tokens as possible, with zero accountability for the output, when you're speaking from the ivory tower of a CEO of a company that gets paid for every token. In my eyes it's an anti-pattern for how to work, and it will take time until we reach a state where agents can be given absolute autonomy to write production code without supervision.

These are exactly the things that fuel a bubble while developers on the ground are shouting that the emperor has no clothes and no investor listens. Because what's sexier than levels of automation for AI slop
