I state that AI‑generated output should be openly attributed: “Claude generated that.”
Treating AI‑generated content as my own responsibility helps keep me accountable and turns mistakes into learning opportunities.
People often say, "India can't build products like Amazon, Netflix, WhatsApp, or Facebook." I counter with Indian alternatives: Flipkart, JioMart; JioHotstar, SonyLIV, ZEE5; Hike, Sandes; Explurger, ShareChat; Moj, Josh, Chingari; Ola; Digiboxx; JioSaavn, Gaana.
We compare them with companies that have had 10–20 years to grow, but expect an Indian startup to be perfect from day one.
Decision: Encourage transparent acknowledgment of AI assistance in code and documentation. I adopt this stance because "If you're using AI, own it." ensures accountability when AI outputs contain errors.
Decision: Establish a practice of reviewing and correcting AI‑generated artifacts before they are shipped or presented. I implement this because "If it makes a mistake, understand it, fix it, and learn from it." guarantees that mistakes are caught early and engineers retain ownership of the final product.
- Explicit Attribution – Add a comment or note in code/documentation stating “Generated by Claude” when appropriate.
- Verification Workflow – Run unit tests, code reviews, or peer reviews on Claude’s output before acceptance.
- Learning Loop – Document AI‑induced mistakes, analyse root causes, and refine prompts or guidelines.
I reflected on the labor market for fresh graduates in 2026 and observed a mismatch between hiring timing and the availability of entry‑level tasks that provide on‑the‑job learning.
AI can already do much of the entry-level work.
Seniors solve the complex problems.
Management is under pressure to reduce costs.
We tell them to gain experience, but nobody wants to give them any.
We expect them to become experts, while the work that teaches expertise is either automated, delegated, or optimized away.
The generation before them worried that AI would replace humans.
This generation is refreshing job portals, hoping AI doesn't replace the role before they even get an interview.
Maybe they just got the worst timing.
