David Singleton ( David Singleton ) was the CTO at Stripe for 7 years before he left to start /dev/agents. Prior to Stripe, he grew from a junior engineer to a VP at Google. I recently asked him about everything he knows about career growth and being an excellent engineering leader. We discussed: • How he grew from an IC to a VP at Google • How to hire at scale without Leetcode • Writing code as a senior leader • The story behind becoming Stripe’s CTO • The top book and habit that impacted his career Where to watch: • Youtube: • Spotify: • Apple Podcasts: What’s funny is in conversation I discovered that Philip Su (from a previous episode) and David were constantly battling for the top talent in London Philip was the London site director for Meta and David was his counterpart at Google. They grew close out of mutual respect and it’s why Philip spoke highly of David’s expertise If you haven’t seen the Philip episode I also recommend that one:

Head of Engineering for Claude Code at Anthropic. Fiona Fung: "After a while, it could start being a lonely experience - we were all just working with our agents so much." Claude now writes 80% of Anthropic's code. The team ships 8x more. An engineer, in Anthropic's own report: "On the days everything works, I can't help but think nothing I do matters." She names the fix in the episode. The dream was less typing - is this what you wanted?

Lead of Claude Code: "100% of our code at Anthropic is now shipped by Claude. Over 30% of it is written using /loops. Loop engineering is the future of coding. Loops are as big a shift as move from source coding to agents" in a 1-hour podcast, a Claude Code lead engineer shares the internal setup for building the #1 coding tool. It’s the most useful breakdown of how the Anthropic team uses Claude internally that I’ve seen on YouTube. Worth more than a $500 vibe-coding course.

That’s a special player”
