Author of Anthropic's post on scaling its test impact analysis service; describes doing the service redesign himself. No other background checked.

Why their word counts: Wrote about work he did on Anthropic's CI service, so first-hand; Anthropic sells Claude Code, so the account is promotional.

In their words

To drive some long-term fixes, I started a long-running session in an internal version of Claude Tag dedicated to monitoring the service. Anytime the listener lag would get more than 50,000 jobs behind, Claude would ping me and resume our conversation on next steps.

This project took three weeks for a single engineer. A year ago it would have been closer to a quarter.

the amount of tests across our codebase grew 10x and we added a nominal amount of engineers. This all led to a 25x increase in CI jobs over a six month period

My advice to engineering teams is, whether you build or buy, assume your architecture will be at a 25x load within two quarters.
