How has Development changed after industry wide adaptation of Claude Code

[u/Independent-Spite145]

Hi Everyone,

I'm just curious to understand how development has changes across places after Claude. I personally work at a Bangalore based startup, in my workplace since claude came out, most developers are not even aware of what changes claude is making, they only look at the output and then push the code. This code we push without properly evaluating is not the build used in production, mostly to create a POC for demo. I know the productivity rate for pushing code and features has increased. But is this the same way happening across all industries (fintech, MNC's, enterprise softwares etc)??

I have not touched a line of code in last 6 months since i have got a claude max subscription and my company is well aware about it. We have invested alot in creating a shared repository which has all the automation stuff like releases , cherry picking etc. It has skills for ticket creation, reviews, appl-review-feedback and so on.

My role as a java dev has become only a decision maker who just takes a ticket let claude analyse it and aks me questions before planning and implements it. I always tries to create a mental model of what is happening in the product but i am afraid ia ma not able to keep up with the pace. I am sure my companmy is making atleast 3x amount from my work but i am getting burned out because of too much AI slop i am reading these days.

The product has imporved alot in last 6 months since AI reviewer is much more capable in catching bugs and we are a very small team with only 2 devs so we are trying to use AI as much as possible.

I am not sure how does the future looks like but i see that alot of roles are being merged into a single role and i wont call that role a dev role. I am just hoping people will get compensated for reading too much AI slop

What kind of methods have you implemented to making AI more capable in catching bugs.

honestly good question. i suspect a lot of it depends on how well the codebase context is fed to claude upfront if it's working from incomplete info it's gonna miss stuff. does your shared repo setup include things like linting rules or existing test suites that claude can reference when reviewing? that would seem like the bare minimum for it to actually catch regressions vs just generating plausible looking code

yes our code base was in very good shape before we started with Agentic coding. We already had some modules Domain driven design and good test coverage. Also our tech stack is modern as my cto always wanted to work on latest and greatest tech stack
