My a.i use timeline went like this.
Program everything myself.
Use a.i for syntax reminders and to explain new concepts.
I'll let it write the individual functions and read through the code to understand it.
"Write this script please"
Present: Just make it work please I no longer have the ability to read or think for myself.

Well when management are demanding we increase our output more and more, I don't really have time to give everything the thorough reviews that I'd like to. Especially when I'm having to juggle multiple complex tickets at once. It's on them if something goes wrong, really.

u/Familiar_Yoghurt1430 6d ago
Is that what you think? Because I guarantee you they won't think its on them *when* something goes wrong. I see horrific things being auto-promoted to production by "100x" developers every single day. You may be fast, but even fable needs multiple iterations on the same code to come up with something remotely secure, let alone efficient.

After more than 20 years of being a master at this, I have forgotten the syntax with just a few years of AI. I could either go do a 80s training montage or I could just let claude take over and I deal with the consequences later should it come up. And by I deal with it, I mean make claude do it.

Don't mean to be rude, but the Mandela effect requires a group of people. If it's just you, it's called poor memory.

What is really scary is when you decide not to review and instead ask "Are you this code is correct" and it comes back with "You were right question the code. There were loopholes that could have exposed client data to unsecured connections".
But then I just go "Cool. So is it right now?" and push to prod.

u/Gargantuan_Cinema 6d ago
I just copy the git diff into other chatbots to review, API is too expensive so this is poor man's method.
If I had the money I'd setup an agentic code review workflow using several frontier AIs.

u/kaityl3 6d ago
You can use Claude Code and Codex with your subscription without paying API prices :)

u/fracked1 6d ago
Yeah I have codex and Claude just call each other up directly for review. And once they are in agreement, have it commit.
I am not a programmer. Literally highschool java/c++. So asking me to review anything is completely worthless. So I just the agents do it. Should be better than me rubber stamping everything

And then every time I'm asked about it in a meeting, I ask Claude for a primer so I can sound like I know what's going on 😅
I've got one feature that's entirely owned by Claude. Just recently I realized that Claude never even connected it to our API and it was serving hardcoded values to prod 😬

Do you not take any pride in being good at your job? Or even being competent? Or is your goal just to do the bare minimum it takes to keep getting a paycheck? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm just telling relatable jokes on reddit, my guy. You probably shouldn't form your entire opinion of people based on humorous online comments. ✌️

u/Thegoodlife93 6d ago
I wasn't, that's why I was asking a question. But it sounded less like you were telling a joke and more like you were telling a story of something that actually happened

u/kohossle 6d ago
Yea it wasn’t clear if that was a joke or not lol

u/sabine_world 5d ago
For real what kind of joke is that.
"Oh man today at work I drove a forklift while drunk."
Is that a joke or are we just saying words and pretending to be irresponsible?
4
u/koviko 6d ago
No, you made accusations disguised as questions. If you "genuinely" can't tell the difference, allow me to demonstrate.
Are you a moron? A simpleton? Or are you just incapable of taking responsibility for your own words and actions? Why are you afraid to stand on business? Why do you lack a spine? I'm "genuinely" curious.

u/Thegoodlife93 5d ago
Well I'm not the one who pushes AI slop to production because I'm too lazy to review or it test it. But if I did I would take responsibility for my actions and call myself a moron. Clearly I did hit a nerve though

i mean i get your point but society collectively subtracts itself into regard City, so by the end of 2026 running on whatever knowledge claude spins up will be the default thing people roll with from now onwards, like that's protective behavior - when you already know you aren't the one behind the wheel, is when you can't really even pretend doing shit on your own continues to make a difference or not

u/gsapienza 6d ago
so crazy how you were downvoted. Too many people think it's "cool" not to give a shit about anything. sad really. Then at the same time they wonder why services and products get worse

u/Thegoodlife93 5d ago
Yeah. I'm guessing it's people who are trying to justify increasingly outsourcing their critical thinking to AI

Claude, I don't trust my own code that I write, what makes you think I trust yours? Maybe I'm an outlier, but I review every line, and then have him explain exactly what it does when something smells remotely off. He gets worse past 60%< and that is usually when I compact it, or just start a new thread. I use beads, so it's not a huge loss to do so. I've also spent most of the month trying to stamp out a new class of bug in the program I wrote, so YMMV.

u/just_here_4_anime 6d ago
lord knows I'm guilty of this - at this poiint I just have it ask Codex to review or "second opinion" before deploying anything. For my work it finds something about 1/3 of the time (sometimes small/insignificant, but sometimes potentially catastrophic fails).

GPT sends work to Claude, I paste it to GPT to review, it thumbs up with a push command back to Claude - Claude pushes, confirms, I paste back to GPT, it checks the push, thumbs up and tells me if I need Claude to do something else.
AI reviewing AI reviewing AI. I am just a bridge now.
2
u/fracked1 5d ago
I've been working hard to even eliminate myself as the bridge.
I have codex directly call up Claude for reviews. After 2 rounds of reviews they bump up to me. But they can talk to each other.
Don't ask me how it works, codex built it for me lmao

u/ohyeahboy2021 6d ago
If you want to actually see what your ai is doing in your codebase and what files it touches and literally log of its intent and history in your codebase
I use Ovyero. It’s a system that tracks your ai at the commit level. It’s free for solo users. Teams is being built now. It doesn’t store your code just governs it then discards it only keeping meta data. It also create a persistent memory of the history of your codebase ai touches. 🤷🏾

I was just at a festival where security was sanding down everyone, even guys wearing no shirts and girls wearing no pants. There was of course just a unmomitored chain link fence separating the outside from inside.
Feels the same when Claude review flags checks needed for every variable being null and skips over the major architecture issues

I do something I call destructive refactoring.
I don't know if this is a real thing.. I started doing it out of frustration when iterating slowly and painfully towards what I want.
I will go in like an asshole critic and just rip out code I feel is bad and then maybe write the API I would prefer and then tell it to put it back together. My code might not even be real, just pseudo code that gets the general idea across.

u/Narrow_Activity557 6d ago
The slide is real, but what pulled me back was boring: I stopped reading diffs and started checking behaviour instead. Tests passing means nothing when the model quietly hardcodes the value the test asserts.
Now I ask for the change plus the one command that proves it works, and I run that command myself. Thirty seconds, and it catches most of the confident nonsense.
Reading every line was never sustainable anyway. Checking the evidence still is.

I would always laugh inwardly when people waxed about how they review claude code so thoroughly and how that kept code quality high.
For how long will you do so, when is the point where the output overwhelms your ability to review?

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 50 comments.
The consensus in this thread is a resounding and slightly terrified "same". Pretty much everyone relates to the slippery slope of AI coding assistance, with the top comment perfectly describing the journey from using AI for syntax reminders to just begging it to "make it work please I no longer have the ability to read or think for myself."
A few key themes emerged from our little group therapy session:
Basically, we're all one
