The Influentists

A tweet by Jaana Dogan, a respected figure in the Google and open-source communities, in which she states that her team spent a year building a distributed agent orchestrator at Google. She claims that Claude Code, an AI tool, replicated their work in just one hour after being given a description of the problem. This sparked significant discussion within the developer community about the implications of AI for software development.

Last week, the developer community was busy discussing about a single tweet: I'm not joking and this isn't funny. We have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. There are various options, not everyone is aligned... I gave Claude Code a description of the problem, it generated what we built last year in an hour. — Jaana Dogan ヤナ ドガン @rakyll January 2, 2026 The author is Jaana Dogan known as Rakyll , a highly respected figure in the Google ecosystem, in the open-source world, and in my heart thank you Rakyll for your great Go blog posts .
