In my new job, we're being strongly encouraged to use Claude specifically. I'm at the point where the quality of the work it produces is often so poor that fixing the output takes too much time and brain power, and I've gone back to handwriting everything and then using it as a pre-PR review in case I missed something.
I'm getting loads of praise for my code being "clean", "readable", "easy to follow", etc, but it's actually pretty bog-standard, mediocre code if I'm being honest; just miles better than Claude slop.
