I watched the full 90-minute interview with Boris Cherny, the Head of Claude Code, so you don't have to. This 2-minute clip is the one you actually need to see. At Anthropic, "unlimited Claude Code tokens" is quietly becoming a standard employee perk. And Boris is telling every company to copy it: "Don't try to cut costs at the beginning. Give engineers as many tokens as possible. It lets them try ideas that would have been too crazy." At 1:45, Lenny asks him the question I was waiting the whole interview to hear: "Are there companies where engineers cost more in tokens than in salary?" Watch till the end. Better use of 2 minutes than another scroll.

Spend 2 minutes here or waste $500K next quarter. An engineer at Anthropic can burn $100K + on Claude tokens in a single month. That's what Boris Cherny, Head of Claude Code, just revealed. His advice to other companies: "Don't try to cost cut at the beginning. Start by giving engineers as many tokens as possible." The reasoning is simple. At small scale the token bill is nothing compared to salary. But the ideas people come up with when you remove the limit? That's where the alpha is.
