Museum Discussion: What happens after coding is solved? | Fiona Fung
Let's meet in-person to discuss a podcast interview between Lenny and Fiona Fung. Fiona Fung leads the teams behind Claude Code and Cowork at Anthropic (overseeing Boris Cherny and the entire engineering and PM team). Before Anthropic, she spent 11 years at Microsoft building Visual Studio and TypeScript and then moved to Meta, where she started Facebook Marketplace. She’s been an engineer for over 25 years and has a unique perspective on how the role of building software is changing.
Here is how it works:

Discussion Questions:
AI allows engineering teams to create vastly more work in much less time. How do we lead a team when producing output becomes effortless but ensuring its quality becomes the main challenge?
The modern workforce is splitting into big-picture creative dreamers and deep technical experts who handle complex systems. How must we adapt professional mentorship to support these two entirely different paths to success?
Scaling operational speed requires giving individuals total freedom to experiment without strict corporate gatekeeping. How do we structure organizational boundaries so that bold, independent experimentation does not compromise business stability?

Community Ground Rules
To provide an enjoyable experience for fellow participants, here are three ground rules during discussion events:
Step up and step back. (If you feel that you’ve been talking too much, step back to listen more. If you feel that you’ve been relatively quiet, step up to share your perspective or ask a question)
Listen to understand, not to respond.
Be open-minded and value differences.
