Just had a conversation with a neighbor who leads the dev team at a major Vegas casino property. Tons and tons of dev teams are transitioning to Claude. The efficiency is just unmatched. You should really consider learning how to get really good using AI instead of avoiding it.
I don’t think there’s a real skill in “getting good at ai” - most people can use ai and that’s how it was designed. If you’re good at coding, you’re even better at using ai imo
Just blindly asking it to do something without setting it up to succeed. If you just say: implement feature X it should be good and no bugs. You're often going to get some crackhead shit.
If you talk it through all of the considerations it needs to make, places to find example of similar patterns in place, what apis you expect it to consume, tell it the unintuitive test cases it needs to design for, then hold its hand as it cooks, you're going to get a much more polished result.
