MODERATORS
To be honest, Claude code writes damn good code. It’s very hard to argue you shouldn’t use it when it can pretty much do in 30 minutes what would take a human a month. You do need to keep an eye on it a bit, but mostly to feed it input on what it didn’t do right, and then it can debug and fix itself. Once the feedback mechanisms are in place where Claude can run and test and self-correct, it should pretty much all work on its own. Dev jobs are at this stage only necessary to bridge gaps between systems, environments, teams, and to translate ideas into some form of a technical representation. If all you do is write code, your job is definitely at risk. You can downvote me, that doesn’t change the reality. I suspect you haven’t seen what it can really do. I was a skeptic for the past 3 years, but things have really changed with Claude code.
I think that newer models of Claude are a lot better, but they are still just chatbots and they still just generate words. As anyone in the industry will tell you: typing out the code was never the slow part.
It’s not just Claude, it’s Claude code. Not sure if you’ve actually used it. I’m using Claude code every day now. I don’t write a single line myself anymore. I just prompt and review and prompt again. At this point, I can see how it is more efficient to have one engineer prompting five Claude agents than to have that one engineer explain the design to five contractors and ask them to build it. The contractors will take weeks. Claude takes minutes. I did in 2 days this week what would’ve taken 5 engineers two weeks each before. I know this because I actually built something similar last year and it took 5 engineers two weeks each to do it. I did it by myself in two days this time with Claude code. I’m not wrong about this because I can see it with my own eyes. I know Lemmy is full of a bunch of people that are whiny about AI, and I get it to a degree, but it is also legitimately changing things.
Haha, yeah I use it as well, and like I said it makes drafting the code a lot faster, but it dramatically slows down review and validation of fit for the business purpose.
If I could, I'd put the genie back in the bottle because having ICs dump thousand line MRs on each other and then finding out in gamma that it didn't actually solve the problem is a ton worse than making a person actually think about what they're gonna commit for a couple hours. But alas, if we don't take a first draft with Claude or Gemini agentic tools for every ticket we'll get PIP'd, so I guess the AI enthusiasts and their sponsors are happy.
I think that’s where our work processes are maybe different. I already have a very well-defined design that I’ve worked out with the business types. They all signed off on it and at this point I’m just telling Claude to build what I have already documented. I know very well what is required and won’t let it stray from that with its own ideas.
Yep, you and I are operating in orthogonal spaces. I genuinely envy you.
