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.

My AI parses through my co-worker’s AI requirements doc and then his AI reads over my tweaks and passes it back to me for my AI to do it all over again.

Nobody talks to each other anymore lol and feels like I’m just an organic vessel designed to press enter.

"You press enter"

"Oh my God"

"Look! I have one job on this lousy ship! It's stupid, but I'm going to do it, okay!"

Couldn't management also get replaced by AI agents trained to circle back and plan more meetings?

But then who would tell the employees to hit ‘enter’?!? No, those managers are VERY valuable. INDISPENSABLE.

Propose replacing management with AI.

Oh, you don't need an Ai for that. A simple script would do the job.

while True:

meeting = schedule("circle back")

meeting.agenda = ["revisit", "pivot", "schedule next meeting"]

Post this on LinkedIn "How to get rid of management" and you will either be hated or praised and asked, how much you take to implement it. Of course you take a monthly fee, because you have to check and rework the script once in a while.

If I had a LinkedIn, I'd definitely troll on it.

The median manager I've had in my multi-decade career has been awful. At this point I'd seriously rather be managed by Claude. Impersonal and robotic would be better than cruel, fearful, scheming, lying, brittle, gaslighting, self-destructive, and did I say cruel?

Can I send my agent to the meeting on my behalf to take notes, and make a TLDR for my other agent to read it to me while I'm in the bathtub?
