Charity Majors reverses on AI skepticism: 'the next time you'll have a job interview, you'll be filtered out if you don't have AI experience'
Honeycomb CTO Charity Majors tells The Pragmatic Engineer that skepticism was rational through 2025 but is not defensible in 2026, crediting Opus 4.5 and — more decisively — Claude Code turning coding harnesses from shell scripts into real development infrastructure. She frames 2025 for AI as 2010 was for cloud, calls code review 'overrated' and 'the least valuable part of what humans add,' and argues validation rigor (tests, evals, conformance testing) must rise as code provenance shifts away from human authorship. One concrete practice: nobody at Honeycomb uses AI on Wednesdays, a deliberate guard against tool fatigue.
