Trivandrum Training (Bruner Reading)
The February 2026 Claude Code training session Segal documented in You On AI — read through Bruner's framework as the most vivid empirical observation available of AI scaffolding in action, and of the developmental questions productivity metrics alone cannot answer.
On a Monday morning in February 2026, twenty engineers in Trivandrum, India, opened their laptops and began working with Claude Code for the first time under structured conditions. By Wednesday, Segal reports, something had shifted in the room. By Friday, the transformation was measurable: a twenty-fold productivity multiplier. Segal records these five days as one of the clearest demonstrations available of what AI partnership makes possible. The Bruner volume reads the same five days through a different lens — asking not what the scaffold made possible but what it built inside the engineers, and identifying the specific questions that productivity metrics cannot answer: Did independent capability grow? Did understanding transfer to domains Claude had not encountered? Will the engineers be able to perform, six months from now, tasks the scaffold cannot reach?
