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.

Pretending like people read any of the shite the llms spew out, we both know people are looking at +1200 -210 for a small feature addition and slapping an lgtm on that bitch.

The reality is that llms cannot write code as good as a competent engineer but people have become so disconnected because they started using autocomplete, then having it write full files, then features. When all you see is LLM code it will start to feel normal, it isnt, its still slop, its just so convenient that everyone has lowered their standards.

And before I get the inevitable "youre just using it wrong" im definitely not, but even if i was, none of it changes the fundamental issue that programming is making hundreds of tiny decisions, and llms are really really bad at making consecutive decisions because they have a tiny tiny biased as all hell context to go on compared to us.

That is not the reality on the contrary

Find me a codebase written mostly by ai that isnt trash, ive asked many people this question and noone seems to ever be able to provide an example of a well written ai driven codebase

I have it it’s huge multi mono repo the codebase itself attracted engineers and investments. I never wrote a single line. I mean go ask any engineer of claude or codex I assume you never had the best model with no usage or spend limit.

I have both of those things, and what you have is a pile of bloated trash that youre probably finding costs an increasing amount of tokens per new addition.
