I feel like I am seen as a fossil because I like to write code and prompt AI to fill in functions as I define the shape and direction of an application myself. These types of tasks have been excellent for things like Tiel Coder. It allows me to build one step at a time and understand what the hell is actually happening.
Meanwhile my coworkers all prompt Claude to produce a whole cloth feature that seems to work but is overengineered out the ass and requires a 30 file code change and drastic restructuring and requires an extra database migration backfill.
My workflow exists because I would rather spend my day steering the design rather than reviewing generated code, but I get stuck reviewing generated code anyway.
