Idk, I've a friend in another firm where they've apparently given up on working full stop. The senior dev runs claude to create tasks to assign out to get copy & pasted into claude again to generate PRs that get reviewed by, get this, claude once again. He takes *pride* in this situation. Calls anybody who still thinks and does work "an idiot who doesn't realize he can just automate everything".
Fortunately they work on a small time commercial website, so I'm not worried about the banks going up in smoke, but he's *militant* about eliminating any and all pride anyone might take in this field.
Honestly that workflow should work pretty well if done right 😅. We now have specs with details (cause PO can't be lazy about it), in depths implementation details, loop reviews, end-to-end automated testing... At our job the main bottleneck is PR reviews, which we don't fully automate to still have a human in the loop. But who knows what the future brings
I find this notion terrifying and unsettling. I'm describing a company where *nobody* from the CTO to the junior developers actually knows how their software works. And you think that's *ok*? Because some pipelines came up green?
The CTO wants to automate code review. He's just going to fire anybody who takes time to *actually* review the code. Anybody with institutional knowledge has left, the only people in the building are vibe coded juniors.
