One of the top threads on the ClaudeAI subreddit right now: "I am done with this shit" https://www. reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments /1wm5c21/i_am_done_with_this_shit/ Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering…

Having worked in/with multiple agencies over the years - working with humans who don't care/are pressured to just ship was exactly what he describes.For example, I collaborated together with an agency that was working on a popular regional banking app. I was on another project with them and at one point decided to check out what they were doing.It…

Can we please skip to the bit where it's too expensive and everyone realises that it's not worth the money? https://www. reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments /1wm5c21/i_am_done_with_this_shit/

Recently: When asking any colleague about anything they did in relation to the project we’re working on, like “How does it work?” the answer is always “I don’t know.”I get that there’s cognitive debt. Some just seem to never even pay interest or get a basic understanding of the domain model.My suspicion is that these people were always lazy…

I have a coworker who outputs unbearable amount of complex scripts even without LLMs.So, I don't care. On the contrary: I can at least see a silver lining thanks to strong LLMs. They often can reduce the code to 20% without loosing anything obvious. Yes, it's error prone. But the untested and often not even linted code by my coworker is a…

We can work on harder problems at the frontier of the models knowledge. I'm working on one such domain, and I find AI use helpful, but I still need to be incredibly astute.

We need a way to interleave our own notes into the source code.It's like Bible study, everyone studies the same Bible, but everyone wants to have their own highlights and notes.Some might say to use comments, but my Monday morning chain-of-thought doesn't belong in a comment.I want a way to do literate coding. I want to interleave writings, and…

I find it wild companies were so ready to ship intellectual property to another company. I sort of thought they would experiment then use all the massive RAM on our Mac books to implement something more local we can use and keeps our stuff out of another companies hands but it was just Claude Claude Claude tokenmax tokenmax tokenmax.

Assume you have control over things. How do you make it not soul crushing? Even if you don’t have an incentive to produce as fast as you can, it’s still kinda sucks. Even if you take the time to carefully review the code produced etc.

Some people are taking longer than others to realize that the job has changed. That's all that I see in these rants.It shouldn't be surprising that if you swim against the tide by doing things the old way, you are going to feel more burnt out because of it.

>In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs.Thing is that's the goal (owners/management), not an unwanted side effect (programmers perspective). You can't get rid of workers if you're still dependent on their thinking. This pain is seen as a necessary step towards the promised land of profitability without pesky salaries…

It's very interesting that this has become such a dichotomy.On one hand you have AI enthusiasts who are shipping more than they ever have, they are super excited about being able to use the models and build everything they've ever wanted to. Utopia, amazing.The other side is this complete, absolute disconnect from the job function, absolute…

Ever since software became a "prestige" career, attracting the former-would-be-dentists of the world, the entire field has been gatekeeping a lot of mediocre talent. Let's be honest.If we're looking for a silver lining, AI is an equalizer and creates competition among the mediocre, driving salaries down. It's not all bad.
-
Idk about that. I work for myself and I cannot stand coding with LLMs. Even if it were faster (I have only noticed slowdowns long term when using them), the experience of arguing with a slot machine is far more stressful and soul-sucking than even the gnarliest bug.Yes coorporate “ship as fast as possible” is draining, but that doesn’t mean LLC…

Yeah, body shops existed before AI came around and your job in one of those is literally just to churn through tickets and get them across the board as fast as possible. Pure production line stuff. AI comes in and turns that to 11.If you're looking for a decent job with even an ounce of creativity then an agency/consultancy shop is rarely the…

Theres something ironic about the top comment being an AI summary of everything, so I don’t have think or synthesize a view for myself.

I wonder if having a good account plan, a good ruleset, and a nice graph of the entire platform would give me tremendous leverage with companies like that. Nothing beats a swarm of agents checking everything, running multiple probes, and finding the best solution for every problem, including generating all the questions stakeholders need to answer…

We are there. I’ve got fuck you money in the bank. I’m just kicking back waiting for the company to fail. It’s free money until then. Make up some shit and go back to doing other stuff.They have lost money for the last two quarters, customer satisfaction is at an all time low, staff morale is gone, defects are piled up, costs are escalating on…

No sense of victory?I'm still surprised sometimes at how rapidly I can prototype something. Is it always shippable? No. But something that would've taken me an amount of time I can't afford to is much quicker.This past weekend I decided to build an iOS app as a personal project. Normally I wouldn't have the time to work on one like that but I was…

It is crazy in agency work now.Before you used to sometimes having more tech savy customers put out a VB or Delphi click demo over an weekend kind of effort, and then complain why is the delivery so expensive.Now they do the same with AI agents.And then people still think their developer jobs are safe.
-
To be honest, this is less about Claude Code per se (or any other coding agent) and more about business and corporate culture. In my experience, if you work at a company whose culture is to deliver as fast as possible, then this is ultimately what you get when those same managers start to realize we can also ship 10x faster (no matter the costs)…

Sounds like it would have been a terrible place to work even before LLMs. And I bet they aren’t actually shipping much.
