I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
If you're building your product or business using AI beyond your understanding and capabilities, you are just making yourself a slave to LLMs without realizing it. It's only a matter of time before subsidized pricing goes away and you get to feel the slavery.
It’s like playing a good song on loop at max volume until you don’t even hear the music anymore, it’s just noise.
That’s what the current AI hype feels like.
@Bhavyaztwt For me it's lack of a great hardware, if macbook like hardware started to come in the market with a great battery life, there's nothing stopping me from using Linux.
@ryukozyy Code that works but not clean would be a nightmare when maintaining.
That's why doing vibe code without knowing how it works under the hood is a disaster waiting to be uncovered.
These days I'm seeing error pages for Google products more often than the last 10 years combined. Chrome keeps forcing everything into dark mode automatically on startup without me doing anything.
I'm not sure if it's because vibe coding is starting to show its less hyped side.
@TTrimoreau Better marketing only works if the product is better in the first place otherwise it's just a short term thing until the people find out that the product is worthless.
If you're overwhelmed hearing AI, AI, AI everywhere on X, just mute all the keywords related to AI, and get a breath of fresh air on this platform at least.
