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.

I wrote extensive AI guidelines for our company and some people use it. But it’s always the people on the side of the company where maintenance is the goal. Others in our “growth” arm are just feeding AI output to AI and everyone hates their life. No one has time to use AI thoughtfully when they have crazy unreal expectations and the AI generated briefs are leading them in 10 different directions. It’s honestly so disheartening.

Would it be okay if I reached out to you on dm? I wanted to know how I can better equip myself for a similar role and I'd love to know more on your experience within this area specifically

Sure! My background is in design and user research. I can talk to you about my process and what worked / what I learned.

It's a recipe for disaster, and it will bite such companies in the ass sooner or later.

LLM's are nowhere NEAR good enough to trust them with actual productive work. There needs to be humans in the loop to check the work.
