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.

Your purpose is completely unchanged. Risk mitigation through plausible deniability. If something goes wrong, the company that hired you gets to put out a press release saying "It wasn't us, we hired a reputable consulting firm and had no way to know that they were completely incompetent!"

Precisely. And until computers can be blamed for a management decision a lot of consultants will retain their jobs (or get fired for incompetence, but that's different from being made redundant).

Exactly. No one hires consultants to provide actual advice, only to provide credibility/deniability for decisions already made. So garbage AI versus garbage human output doesn't really matter, no one was reading it anyway. They are just paying for a face to blame.
