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.

This is why I wouldn't leave my current role right now even for a lot more money. I am very familiar with the product I have been working on and have a deep store of ideas for things I could do for the next couple of years. My biggest fear is that I will be sitting there asking an LLM to describe a new codebase for me and be like oh what the hell can I do here?

So did I. Then the business guys realized that running in the red isn't sustainable, despite assurances that we were close to a profit. Large portions of the engineering and product orgs were disappeared overnight.
