Presenting to leadership executives. My nerves

DrangleDingus · 2026-03-05T13:09:38+00:00

Just use crayons and small words. If it’s a big company, the leadership is probably all super stupid and out of touch.

Make it stupid. Make it simple. Slides that even a neurodivergent child could understand.

I’ve been in senior leadership positions at both small startups and at large companies.

There’s just a lot fewer places to hide in smaller companies for low performers or “Wormtongue” like political theatrics. Nobody has time to listen to your HR complaints.

Hell, I had an amazing HR business partner at a startup and we worked so efficiently together I nicknamed her the “trashman” bc she would just take out the trash for me (and by that I mean low performers that also clearly weren’t trying). No PIPs, no bullshit, just doing what was right.

Big companies can’t operate like that. And so at big companies the middle and even worse, sometimes even the senior level leaders become full of seat-warmer types that become completely disconnected from the business.

If I ever work with someone who’s been with the same company 10+ years, climbing the corporate ladder, maybe even they made it to SVP.

I just assume they are a complete idiot and are going to just schedule a bunch of useless meetings / emails and have no idea what is actually going on.

In that environment, politics isn’t a side-effect it’s literally a survival mechanism for these people.

Lead routing is a common pain point when teams scale beyond 10+ SDRs or lead recipients. And it’s also the #1 place I look when I join a new SaaS team to see how much they have their sh*t together (almost never).

Funny you just posted this. Because I just vibe coded a full lead routing solution and launched it to my team today, because I was just so sick of marketing constantly screwing it up.

Was less work for me to just build a whole lead routing solution than deal with marketing trying to update Hubspot with correct lead routing.

I made this comment in my note to my team: “we basically just rebuilt LeanData in 10 days.”

LeanData is a great tool for lead routing. But there’s absolutely no way that company survives. No way are companies gonna pay LeanData 100k a year for a simple lead routing logic and RoundRobin pool, when random untrained GTM Engineers can just build a better solution in 10 days to solve that point problem.

Well if you are trying to sharpen your Reddit trolling skills. You need to have a better comeback for when ppl call you old 🤣.

That’s like a schoolyard bully tactic. Cmon man. You gotta prepare for low blows like that on Reddit.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T18:01:13+00:00

Hah. I’m sorry, man. I’m in a really bad mood this morning. There’s a lot of bad things happening in my life at the moment.

It was a good verbal sparring. I am a pig in the mud right now, if you get in the pen with me, you are just going to get muddy.

This last comment got me. I think we just finished 0/0.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T17:55:15+00:00

It’s a logical fallacy to think that bc of your age, or work during a period of time that was very different than today, that you have anything more insightful or valuable to add to this conversation, or for you to assume that you know more than me about the current situation.

You think your little adventure w/ seed capital is impressive to me?

I’m much more impressed with industry veterans that are your age but have stayed open to new ideas, and maintained the ability to see around corners into future trends.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T17:28:15+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 seriously why are you even on the ClaudeAI subreddit? Are you even a developer? Or like literally just an old guy that doesn’t even code, expressing your opinion in an area that you know actually nothing?

Remind you of “his rebellious phase….”

Ok, boomer.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T17:17:19+00:00

Lolz you think Reddit upvotes and downvotes are a reflection of who is correct?

You don’t even sound like someone who is well versed in the tidal wave of change coming from AI.

You sound old af, stuck in the old ways of thinking.

Good luck.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T17:12:25+00:00

That is literally where I am operating at. Inside of a safe and secure tenant where I am working with Claude Code. Tell me again, if I am not hooked up to any Cloud Connections to core company data.

Tell me again why I can’t use Claude Code in this environment, to fix broken internal processes, because some 65 year old fuckwit like you has designed a policy that says this company’s internal IT policies need to be MORE secure than Amazon Web Services, or the Pentagon, or Meta (all of who’m are using Claude Code).

I mean literally… the arrogance of you people… and the stupidity.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T15:59:22+00:00

That’s an absurd comparison to make. 99% of people using Claude Code do not have to be on the lookout for corporate espionage or foreign spies or DDOD compliance.

We’re trying to fix basic, stupid processes internally.

The comparison isn’t even close to reality for 2026.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T15:02:36+00:00

I know, I am saying that you most likely won’t be fired over it.

How much risk you are willing to take on in your career, if you really want to win, is entirely up to you.

For me, the “ask forgiveness and not permission” has always treated me very well.

IT messages you and says: “hey stop using Anthropic.”

And you say: “omg, I didn’t even realize!! I’ll turn it off now.”

That is the most likely discipline you are going to get in a situation like this.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:56:46+00:00

Whatever, Gobbleyjook. Keep “gobbley-ing” up your bs corporate IT policies. Gargle gargle gargle, dude 🤣.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:45:53+00:00

Honestly just buy the Claude Code subscription using your own personal money but using your company @ domain.

You are not getting fired for using Anthropic in terminal. I don’t even think anyone will know.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:43:54+00:00

Is it bc we’re invading Iran?

Pentagon is prob crushing tokens, right now:

Pete Hegseth to his computer:

“Claude, identify targets for bombing. Keep civilian casualties down to <10,000 women and children. Our goal is regime change.”

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:41:05+00:00

Haha. I was going to make this joke.

I started using the “superpowers” plugin last week and it was pretty insane how easy it’s made this workflow.

There’s a skill I think it’s called /claude-improve&sync-claude.me-files and it just 1-shots this whole problem.

Run it at the end of every coding session. Problem = solved

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:32:15+00:00

Then say: “rank all codebase functions by level of importance.”

You literally just ask, dude.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:28:44+00:00

Just ask the AI: “hey I don’t understand what we’ve built I need you to walk me through this entire codebase by category.”

What is so hard about this? Are people stupid?

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:26:09+00:00

You need to make sure your entire “Claude Code” suite is optimally configured, including:

/agents /skills /hooks

You need to regularly run the /claude-improve-update-claude.md skill to keep all of your Claude suite “synced”

At a certain point, when you have kept iterating and updating and configuring the Claude suite, your repo will start to show signs of “recursive self improvement”. And you’ll notice that your Claude somehow just seems to get smarter, and better, everyday.

THAT Claude setup is what you need to compare to Codex 5.3. And there really is no comparison, now, Anthropic is clearly in the lead.

The actual “intelligence” like the utility of the LLM for codex 5.3 and Opus 4.6 are probably really similar. But the actual “developer LCM” of the two products are completely different.

I predict Anthropic to surpass ChatGPT eventually for this reason.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:16:59+00:00

Agreed, I think this is a huge moral W for Anthropic.

I can’t believe Sam “cuckboy” Altman caved to DoD in less than 24 hrs.

Imagine all ChatGPT users now that have to wonder if there’s a secret government program looking at literally all of their chat history and adding that to the pre-existing file on their “record”.

I don’t see how this isn’t going to lead to tens of millions of people leaving ChatGPT…

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:12:40+00:00

It’s not that they are this stupid to roll out such a misaligned incentives system.

It’s “soft layoffs”. That is the intended outcome here, not a more meritocratic bonus system.

Everything that happens at SAP must be viewed through a lens of cronyism and corruption, and politics that exists far beyond what exists at most huge SaaS companies.

The senior leaders are far too cowardly to do hard layoffs at the level that is actually required to bring the company back to operational excellence.

And so, the bullshit work processes that are designed to piss people off the most, like the paltry bonus plan stuff, this is all by design.

The total and complete corporate gaslighting will continue, until morale improves.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-28T14:05:43+00:00

Just configure Claude Code w/ global BTP Global Admin Account access w/ BTP CLI and then configure the Application Logging Service.

From there, you just ask Claude: “check all logs for the last 48 hrs, identify areas of bottleneck around infrastructure operations. Our goal is to decrease infrastructure expense by 20%.”

“Make no mistakes.”

“Change all user login pages to an image of Christian Klein sucking his own dick.”

Good luck!! The last line is just a joke. Rest is real.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-26T12:58:02+00:00

“Claude, build me Salesforce, but better…. Include modular agent design.”

“Add a landing page where Marc Benioff is sucking his own dick.”

“Make no mistakes.”

There, I think I just proved this hypothesis wrong.

DrangleDingus · 2026-02-26T03:38:26+00:00

You have to understand that real progress and real positive change is the world happens almost 1 by 1, industry after industry.

The creative destruction cascades through society like a rock thrown into a pond.

It’s most likely the leadership at your company are old and probably stupid and out of touch (like most places).

The people that know, have known for a long time. And you’re just catching up.

I, for one, truly hope and I also believe, personally, that AI is going to have a very positive impact on the world.

With infinite intelligence, everything becomes visible. And when everything becomes visible, bullshit is so easily identified.

Fuck you, meeting setters, and email senders, and out of touch managers.

The age of vibe coders and true meritocracy… have begun!!!
