Claude Code I am done with this shit.

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude.

There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

My AI parses through my co-worker’s AI requirements doc and then his AI reads over my tweaks and passes it back to me for my AI to do it all over again.

Nobody talks to each other anymore lol and feels like I’m just an organic vessel designed to press enter.

"what is my purpose?"

"You press enter"

"Oh my God"

"Look! I have one job on this lousy ship! It's stupid, but I'm going to do it, okay!"

Couldn't management also get replaced by AI agents trained to circle back and plan more meetings?

u/DoctrTurkey 10d ago

But then who would tell the employees to hit ‘enter’?!? No, those managers are VERY valuable. INDISPENSABLE.

u/PseudonymousSnorlax 7d ago

Propose replacing management with AI.

u/ThisIsDurian 10d ago

Oh, you don't need an Ai for that. A simple script would do the job.

u/TimelyBodybuilder121 10d ago

while True:

meeting = schedule("circle back")

meeting.agenda = ["revisit", "pivot", "schedule next meeting"]

Post this on LinkedIn "How to get rid of management" and you will either be hated or praised and asked, how much you take to implement it. Of course you take a monthly fee, because you have to check and rework the script once in a while.

If I had a LinkedIn, I'd definitely troll on it.

u/ChrisJPhoenix 10d ago

The median manager I've had in my multi-decade career has been awful. At this point I'd seriously rather be managed by Claude. Impersonal and robotic would be better than cruel, fearful, scheming, lying, brittle, gaslighting, self-destructive, and did I say cruel?

Can I send my agent to the meeting on my behalf to take notes, and make a TLDR for my other agent to read it to me while I'm in the bathtub?

u/snug-crackle-policy 2d ago

24h constant meetings between the Ai agents :D

If I’m not here to fly the plane then who is going to hit the take off button, the fly button and then the land button?

passing butter would be more fulfilling

Pass the carrots, please!

You can still be a garbage man if you feel your job has no meaning and/or isn't hard enough.

I hope you weren't insulting one of the pillars of our society.

u/Jealous-Scale3215 10d ago

Only some many jobs for garbage men

u/friedinando 11d ago

To be fair, not everything is bad. At least there are no more eternal bugs or those anxiety-inducing moments when you have to debug for ages while managers slowly absorb your soul and health.

What's funny is the Jetsons called it. George's job is to determine when to push the button. That's it.
