Mike Krieger. Krieger co-founded Instagram in 2010 and led its engineering through scale from zero to a billion users before the Facebook acquisition. He joined Anthropic as head of Anthropic Labs, the research-to-product group building with frontier models. His writing and public appearances focus on how frontier model capabilities change day-to-day engineering practice, including async delegation, concurrent session management, and treating AI as a production colleague rather than a productivity shortcut.
Operating themes
- Async AI delegation Practices and advocates running AI sessions overnight with complete briefs rather than synchronous step-by-step prompting.
- Production engineering with frontier models Uses Claude directly on personal and internal projects, sharing what the transition from real-time chat to async commissioning looks like in practice.
- Judgment under autonomy Emphasizes the model's pushback behavior as a signal of quality: a model that considers feedback before accepting it is more trustworthy than one that agrees immediately.
