Boris Cherny, who built Claude Code, says engineering, product, design and data science are melting into one role, and what's left is five archetypes: Prototyper, Builder, Sweeper, Grower, Maintainer. I read the list and realised I'm all five, because building solo with agents leaves no one to hand a phase to. The framework is thirty years old. What's new is that it just became the primary axis instead of the secondary one.
READX is flooded with Fable 5 one-shotting landing pages, and design leaderboards briefly crowned it king. So I handed it this blog. The interesting part wasn't what it generated: it was that it read the site's own design doc and found the site guilty of violating it. What the viral demos get right, what they hide, and why the model's most useful design skill is enforcement, not inspiration.
READA community file distilling Karpathy's coding-agent observations hit 60K stars on four principles. I opened my own CLAUDE.md to compare. I'd independently written two of them. The two I hadn't are the ones that matter most.
