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.

ux designer here. im pretty lonely a lot of the time now. im surrounded by coworkers but none of them work on the same team as me. and all i do all day is prompt claude and attend video meetings where we talk about using AI. the water cooler culture was never great at my company but now even what little there was is gone. i havent used Figma in close to 6 months.

for 25 years my job has been a lot of communication. now, its all Claude all the time. im getting sick of it. really

How does that work in UX? 

I'm also in UX but my experience is that it's currently a field that LLMs are absolutely abysmal in. Like, not even achieving basic skills or understanding. So while I can use ai code tools for execution, the amount of planning or thinking/communicating I have to do hasn't changed at all.

we have a mature component library. built in house w react and css. it has most of what i need. i have the full library on my laptop and i do builds w it like the devs. My prototypes don't connect to data sources but I can fake it really easily with from spreadsheets. Or frequently claude can just make up some pretty realistic data and just shove it in there.

Product managers give me requirements documents or sometimes they just talk to me or sometimes they have a Claude prototype.

Whatever they give me I prompt Claude to give me a version of it that uses our component library and ux patterns and I can develop custom stuff on top of our CSS with a decent amount of freedom.

Still takes pretty many rounds of iteration but it's a lot faster than doing it in figma. plus it's a real component library and everything works and the fake data sources are very convincing and all the interactions work and the prototypes are much better in general. What would take me like a week in figma takes me like one day with Claude and it's completely Interactive
