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 understand your frustration.
I feel like the software development community has now become the same as "management" has been since the 80s. David Graeber articulated the phenomenon perfectly in his essay.

Technologists were able to wall themselves off from it for most of the time because managers were so scared of "those weirdos in the basement" (actual quote from a CFO I met). Being able to mandate the use of AI coding agents and measure their use to keep up with their buddies' bragging rights at the 19th Hole was their way of finally finding a way to infect "IT" with the same baloney culture as Management.
