> "At Spotify, engineers are using an internal system called “Honk” to speed up coding and product velocity, the company told analysts on the call. This system allows for things like remote, real-time code deployment using generative AI, and specifically Claude Code."
Fascinating...I wonder what the internal system "Honk" does vs. what Claude Code natively does. Why build an internal system at all? I found the article fairly vague on it beyond this quote; seems like CI/CD and such maybe?
Thought for 0.000001 seconds: Hmmm, the user is asking for a list of music, it looks like that's in the the postgres database music_track.... (
All endpoints will just directly be to the LLM that has all the access control rules, etc.. No hacking will be possible. No more code it's just all ST:TNG computer from here on out.

That sounds concerning...
How exactly are they measuring their best developers? Is "best" those with the most AI-generated code put into prod???

Those are the best. The suckers still write code.
