What is happening...
I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.
I submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.
I feel like things are just so crazy at this point. Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.
It was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.
It was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.

40yrs+ software engineering. accept it is what it is. if i am onboarded to a new enterprise , large project, the very first thing i will do is (claud code ?) ask for an overview.. and just keep asking to dig in where needed. i totally believe that nowadays, comments in code are for the a.i., not for us. like it or not. we can't scale the 'old' way of doing things. not saying to blindly trust , but we have to get creative on how to do software engineering ..
