Imagine this sentence with "Claude Code" replaced by anything else and "CTO" and "devs" replaced by more generic terms like "boss" and "employee". It's just "The boss tried Tool X and liked it so he said all the employees have to use it". It just seems to me that that is a bad way to make decisions regardless of what tool we're talking about or even what industry we're in. It's certainly possible it could make sense with a few more steps in there ("the boss tried this and liked it because X so he said we have to work on using it in way Y to accomplish Z"). But the way this is described sounds like a fire-and-forget mentality where the boss tells people to do a thing a certain way and that's the extent of his involvement, which seems stupid.
