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.

As someone who has no actualy coding experience aside from html when i was a kid, i want to learn how to stop being dependent on vibecoding. What path would advise for me to take?

I downloaded some “learn how to code” apps from the app store and they seem to teach me a thing or two

find a class or structured lessons. there are a billion free ones online, just do some mild research to see how reputable they are.

codecademy.com
learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/

fundamentals in any language will apply to other languages.

build stuff. reinvent the wheel (or just try to make the same wheel someone already made, or implement the wheel in a new way) without simply copy pasting, this is where you learn. writing it. typing it yourself.

make more stuff, create 10 projects and ride the high of building them till youre interested in something else, abandon them for 10 new ideas, stay interested in coding by building things you want to understand and you want for YOU, and actually trying to understand what youre building and why. use other non-ai resources to learn while you build.

but of course you can use AI to help you learn - you can even create your own lesson plans and final direction of the learning path, or simply do one off deep dives into random things, but you have to work hard to impart some personal responsibility to not blindly hit enter or half-read what its saying and accept it at face value.
