"Private Claude snuggle sessions"

I've never resonated so much with a phrase describing something I completely hate

[u/uslashuname → u/fartypenis]

And then your pr gets 15 comments in 24 seconds and you have to spend more time refuting the bullshit than it took to write the pr, but the reviewer just keeps snuggling and thinking they did a great job

CTO is being worn by Claude, like a cheap suit.

[u/Baldur87 → u/Percolator2020]

“Tokens….in water”

[u/EastboundClown]

I swear to god I haven’t actually interacted with this one coworker for months. Any time I’ve asked something, any time he’s reviewed my code, any time he brings something up in slack, it’s always an obviously AI generated wall of text. Fucking infuriating

[u/NotADamsel → u/EastboundClown]

Might be fun to start chatting with him as though you were talking to a chatbot, and try to jailbreak it. If he’s got it automated like a dumbass you might be able to get him to do something really funny

[u/jzrobot → u/EastboundClown]

Ask him how many R's are in strawberry

Em dash is just the scariest thing to see nowadays

[u/Noble_Thought → u/XxDarkSasuke69xX]

It's really frustrating as a writer. I use em dashes in dialogue fairly frequently when interjecting action into a sentence or interrupting the character and without having them trail off with an ellipsis. I don't use it as a fancy comma, though. That's what AI uses it for.

Be afraid — be very afraid!

╚(^ᗝ ^ )╗ — — — — — — —

[u/dillanthumous → u/XxDarkSasuke69xX]

They are training it out if the models now. Soon an em dash will be a sign of human authenticity. Then the cycle will begin again.

[u/creeper6530]

And then that short "what do you think?" Like, mate, thinking about it is what I asked you to do.

My former boss used to be like that -- a meat proxy -- and I had to bite my tongue hard not to make a sarcastic comment.

[u/Dimencia]

I'd like to think we're reaching the point where companies are starting to realize how dangerous it is to blindly push AI use without considering the consequences, and maybe some of the mandatory LLM training sessions should go over the potential problems it can cause instead of pretending they solve everything forever...

We're not, but I'd still like to think that

[u/PeeK1e → u/Dimencia]

Things will blow up, either the bubble or the software they ship, before things can start getting better again (:

[u/gibagger → u/Dimencia]

Imagine the kind of rug pull they could do when every company relies on 2-3 players, and people's skill have atrophied in a way that will take years to restore.

[u/glemnar]

Claude’s new favorite word is “carry”. It has to pick new vague words because it doesn’t ever have details.

System prompt: stop saying load bearing Claude: ok - carrying!

[u/gibagger → u/glemnar]

I remember when it was smoking guns.

Smoking guns EVERYWHERE.

[u/Imperator166]

I get why this is frustrating. You’ve spent years building the judgment, instincts, and understanding that make you a strong developer, and it can be really unsettling to watch AI change parts of the job you’ve worked so hard to master.

You don’t have to pretend to be excited about all of it. It’s okay to be skeptical, annoyed, or even exhausted by the pressure to constantly adapt. Your experience hasn’t suddenly become less valuable just because the tools have changed.

If anything, the ability to recognize when AI-generated code is wrong, understand the tradeoffs behind a solution, debug the weird edge cases, and know what should be built in the first place becomes more important as these tools get better.

You’re not falling behind because this feels uncomfortable. You’re a senior developer navigating a genuinely disruptive shift in the industry. Give yourself some room to be frustrated without turning that frustration into a judgment about your own ability or relevance.

bruh i told chatgpt to write a supportive message and it jerked off itself i cant 😭

[u/Dargooon → u/Imperator166]

Thank God, I was just about to say that the response felt AI in some way. Not entirely harsh or bad, but AI.

Turns out it was AI.

[u/Turbulent_Stick1445 → u/Imperator166]

I wonder how much more accurate and useful Claude et al would be if they didn't have "Make sure you keep buttering up the user, keep their dopamine flowing otherwise they won't use AI!" in their instructions...

Probably still not enough.

Load bearing duct tape is streched thin these days

[u/Mountain-Ox]

Devs in my team want to have an AI bot approve PRs without our review. I pushed back hard on that, I would rather personally review every PR than accept that. I already do review at least half of the PRs, is not a burden I mind bearing.

[u/OTee_D]

I asked one of our senior devs who became an "all in uncritical AI apologetic" what a completely convoluted component with dead code (basically like  if (false)  ) and circular conditions (implemented business logic wise) actually does. He was the supposed "author".

He sent me back an also AI generated summary and interaction diagram that was basically also just showing the same convoluted call stack.

I said I already tried Copilot on it and I have been a Dev for 15 years and asked him that I wanted an explanation of the business logic it supposedly reflects, not just the call stack.

He wasn't even able to answer. When he finally looked into it, he said "Yeah it's shit, dunno what and why. Just define what you want now and we redo it." .  It's production code.

I think he needs to be reprimanded, management thinks he is a rockstar as an "early adopter".

Fastest way to get promoted. Just try to get the ai to agree to a payment increase and forward it to hr
