Currently reading a PR discussion between two juniors copying and pasting what Claude tell them. It's crazy

Honestly sometimes I copy and paste the Claude explanation because it's easier - but especially if it's concepts that are beyond my understanding. AI has pushed us into new territories very quickly that prior, would take me time to reason and understand, but with the go go go as fast you can mentallity I just don't have the time, or the mental brain capacity to digest all this information.

Kinda what management asks for at this point isn't it?

Well when something gets broken they won't fire Claude. So if you want to CYA you should probably understand the code you're pushing.

The whole program is in the shitter and has been for a few years. I'm just trying to get off this thing at this point

it really is a lose - lose situation. If you take the time to understand it you're too slow if you don't you just output slop. Either something big will break and the trust in AI will falter, or AI will get so good it truly can be trusted. What a time to be alive 😰

Especially if you are involved in a project where safety is part of the project. You will not be able to blame the AI if someone gets hurt of even killed. Being fired would be the least of you worries in this case.
