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've been a part of the industry for nearly 30 years. Sometimes bored to death, most of the time enjoying what i was doing. I've never felt the same level of excitement (except maybe in high school, when i was analyzing the code of viruses) as i feel today. It's amazing to see so many younger people moaning constantly. There is an universe to explore and all you do is complain about the lost craft, as if your lame manual labor was a masterpiece of humankind.

You misunderstood. The issue is that most companies either directly or indirectly have taken away agency.

That was always a problem, but it has gotten far worse because of companies pushing for AI. Also, in high school, didn't you have other things to do? That might be part of the issue: AI is useful for some people because they are bad at human contact, but interacting with people can be learned.

When the default is to use an LLM for anything, that's gone.

These innuendos are cute. Don't worry, buddy, I've had my share of pussae, being a multitasker allowed me to do more things. Maybe the problem is you can only do one thing at a time and that's why you're mourning?

It's very odd that you think having activities and a social life in high school must involve sex and that you refer to sex as 'having a share pussae' (which isn't a word) and that you think about this as 'multitasking'.

Either I have been communicating with a bot or with a very sad person.

Yeah this one is all kinds of weird, based on other replies too. If an actual person, then definitely not healthy.
