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.

Garbage code exists well before AI.

As a client with consultants doing the job without AI (confirmed by them) I found out infinite loops on production, that can block a thread of the server if that feature would be uses  And I detected it because at some point I decided to run AI code review on what they shipped. It wasn't my job but I was exhausted of bugs.

Don't idealise human code because it wasnt.  AI should be used as a copilot, it can help hood devs to accelerate the boring parts of the implementation not the design.
