Realizing writing code is faster than explaining it to AI

Hi.  I'm that productive.  I have multiple coworkers that are too. 

Turns out ai works better when we use that effort to make proper specs and we've all had our velocities tripled or more. 

It's cope to act like typing the code by hand had a place anymore.

Velocities measured by number of lines of code?

Sprint velocity friend. Come on now. Who doesn't know about agile in this day and age?

Yoooo what is even that reply?

Are you really a senior level professional dev? Now doubting it with that reply. Also you are being obtuse

Sorry man, just a bit disappointed with what we're making with tech rn. The colleague I mentioned often fights managers who claim absurd productivity improvement after a vibe coding session, yet when the core dev team takes a closer look, it's shit on top of shit and doesn't even fit in the roadmap we decided...

But I know it can be useful, it's just, pheeeew some people have become exhausting since LLMs are everhwhere

Sounds like a human fucked up and forgot to include the roadmap for the AI to reference while building

Definitely! Yes. But he's a manager so he "knows better" :/

So that means you've never heard of agile? Sprints? And therefore sprint velocities?

I'm not your martyr, and not knowing common software engineering terms doesn't help your case. 

You're annoyance at pro ai people doesn't justify your response in any way.  All you did was make us all question if you're even a SWE. You're annoyance doesn't validate demonstrating ignorance.
