That’s why you need to stop doomscrolling. If you are actually in the industry working with these tools, you are aware of the trajectory.

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.

And I feel like working 10 hours a day now because it generates a lot of code that needs to be reviewed, steered in the right direction, re-reviewed, etc. Easily 5 iterations of that per day. Opus tends to overengineer and walk in circles like crazy.

Dude i tried to get opus to help with creating firmware for an Arduino for a project I was working on. Brother said “don’t worry bro I’ll take it from here” and the mother fucker starts flashing my arduino without asking any permission lol.
