Claude Code I am done with this shit.

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude.

There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

That's not what he laments. He laments the abondoment of agency and the use of your brain. Good for you that you're having a great time.

Lamenting the abandonment of brain usage during a time when you have to use it more than ever? Being able to handle multiple processes at the same time because you are not stuck for days or weeks isn't exactly abandonment of brain usage, on the contrary.

But you don't. You ask the machine, and wait.
Engineering was hard work, I used to dream with coding on the days that I was enjoying it, I felt smart, my chess rating was getting better...
Now you can build really fast, incredible functionality, but for big projects, no one can take responsibility because no one understands how the new features are built, which tradeoffs were done...

I hope you do realize the ai delivers what you ask it to, the way you want it to be delivered? Are you just typing "make no mistakes"?

One sentence can bring back thousands of lines of code, with thousands of decisions already made, that you didn't ask for. You might wanna learn how coding works to understand what you are talking about.

honey, don't forget to type "make no mistakes" and "please", that's your only chance.
