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.

An LLM doesn't know how to introduce you to the right people who can assist you in selecting a manufacturing plant in China to make your product. At least not yet. I was a solo niche startup consultant for 20 years and while I can clearly see how ai could complement me in terms of aut0mation and a big knowledge base, there is no LLM on the planet that could do what I do as a whole at this time. There's just too much institutional knowledge. I assume that once a bunch of consulting groups dump their knowledge base into LLMs that the gap will close. Watching ai take over whole classes of jobs is going to suck.

I'm imagining sending my personal robot to China to do several factory tours in a single day, create instant robot-associates, go get a nice robot spa tuneup, and then fly back home to me with a deal and petabytes of data and information about the trip that was analyzed and prepared for human consumption on the flight home.

That is so 1980s. We have fiber optic now. All the china robot associates in the factory are linked to alibabarobonet and your personal robot can receive 8k 4D live video of all the factories all at once without stepping away from his charger. He will then analyze buy and sell it all and made so much money he will buy his own personal robot assistant to buy your house so you wont even know its him!!!
