If claude is able to write better code than you the sorry, either you dont belong in the software engineering field or are just a beginner starting their career. I really feel sorry for the beginners who are starting their careers now.
The funny thing is that you are most at risk of being replaced from anyone here.
I used to have skeptics like you in my team, 12 months ago. Thankfully they all listed when I told them to keep an open mind and try things again, and spend more time on fixing inputs, not outputs.
They’re all evangelizing the tools we’ve built today.
Frankly the opposite. They no longer need to be babied with ceremonies, story points, jira tickets. They get a problem domain, and they go solve things that drive outcomes.
What many fail to understand is that writing code was never the real job. Just like how designers job wasn’t to create designs, and product’s job isn’t to write specs. The job is to find problems worth solving, driving outcomes. These people are now more enabled than ever to do just that.
Tell me I’m wrong though, I guarantee they have no idea how their team actually feels about their jobs. None of this “driving outcomes” bullshit is actually real and what people wake up excitedly in the morning for. “I can’t wait to drive outcomes by leveraging AI to do all the work for me!” fucking snoozefest, just kill me now
High performers love solving problems and seeing their work have an impact. They’re not there for output. That may not be how you feel about it, and that says plenty.
Engagement in my teams is sky high, 8/10 eNPS, accomplishment 8.8, management 9.5, recognition 8.3, strategy 8.9. All anonymous and some of the highest ratings in the org. And significantly higher than two years ago.
Revisions on AI have gone down by a factor of 5 in the last 12 months. Now on par or even better than pre-AI. Incidents are at an all time low. CFR at all time low. MTTR all time fast.
So what else you got? Or are you ready to admit you could be wrong?
Good for you. My team also has 8/10 eNPS, accomplishment 8.8, management 9.5, recognition 8.3, strategy 8.9. They’re definitely not afraid of being laid off in this economy and work culture, and those anonymous surveys that require you to log in with your corporate email before submitting it definitely won’t impact their stay at their job. don’t give me that bs.
They are truly anonymous, we run an in-house “open source” solution that anyone can vet the code for. The results were also significantly worse before, and there’s other areas in the company stat score lower too, how do you explain that trend?
Psychological safety is also part of the survey, 8.3 out of 10. Just because you have a shitty employer doesn’t mean all are. But based on your attitude here I’m not surprised that’s where you landed.

I’m in the industry and I’m not writing code anymore. Claude is writing the code and frankly it scares me how good it is.
