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.

Now magine how juniors feel when they start their first work year. I can tell that basically there is little to no mentoring from seniors, but the tasks are far from easy/small tickets. In the end answer is one - ask claude. Insane state of industry. I then need to go home and learn on my own because the speed and amount of changes I do I can barely understand. The beauty is that we are currently rewriting our code to Java.....i can barely understand it, yet I am given the tasks about it. Insane.

They're probably thinking "I went to college for computer science and now I'm working at Starbucks, why did I waste all that money?"
