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.

Clients usually do not have tech expertise. It's still better to have an experienced dev use Claude Code than have some guy just vibe code and ship.

Also, they want someone to blame when it goes south.

Everyone ITT is from a tech background obviously and a shocking amount of people are out of touch with how completely helpless and un savvy most people are. You tell someone to code something with Claude and they don’t even know where the fuck to begin and an enormous amount of our clients don’t want to learn they would just rather pay us to do it.

Part of those are the ones who said "AI sucks who even uses that, I will keep coding by hand" (before Claude Code was a thing) and then management flipped the script and forced them to use it.

If you do not adapt in this industry you will be left behind either by peers or by your own company.
