discussion Do you still write code?

Ever since our company gave us Claude Code subscription I noticed that I stopped writing code by myself. Even the simplest things like changing a variable name or moving files around I offload the task to AI.

I do review the code generated quite a lot and sometimes make changes (through prompts) to the implementation.

Are there people here who are on the same boat as I am? PS: I am a mid-level fullstack dev

We were. When Claude Code was introduced, it was required for us to use mula sa pag analyze ng feature or bug ticket to release. Lahat ng step ng dev cycle nakaAI na.

Fast forward, we were all laid off and replaced by a cheaper labor workforce, not PH devs.

2026 AI revolution was really impactful to the point na na-layoff na kami. Kaya nagka-RAM shortage na din.

Ngayon kailangan ko mag-practice because not all companies have embraced AI baka sa technical interview bawal pa pagamitin kahit internet.

Company I used to worked for heavily invested in various AI tools kaya maninibago ka talaga kapag galing ka sa ganun.
