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 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.
Yep, you and I are operating in orthogonal spaces. I genuinely envy you.
