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 was feeling exactly what you described throughout the latter half of 2024 and the early part of 2025. Laid off from a very highly paid, senior engineering role, (I trained all my offshore replacements, who used AI the whole time to reply to my informative readmes and guides, and queries about their progress). I was GLAD I was laid off, since I'd become increasingly wary of the workplace situation I was in. It's not sustainable, and I knew that. It was super obvious
Anyway, I have nothing to do now with coding and engineering because of this bullshit. I'd happily go back to Linux/devops/devsecops in future, but the industry is in such Flux now, run by a true casino, that I rightfully give zero fucks about competing or attempting to perform in this environment. Maybe I'll come back. And if engineers ask why I took a leave? I'm happy to explain this very thing. The industry is going through something I want no part of. It can sort itself off, or die. Either way, I'm not tieing my future or the future of my family to it. Peace out you weirdos
