If I was told that, as a senior, writing code was now a waste of my time and I could only contribute by telling juniors what to do and reviewing their code, I think I'd have lost my mind years ago. Just like you say, at least any junior worth retaining will learn, maybe even excel beyond me in some particular niche or other, and establish trust and rapport. Claude, on the other hand, may behave like an expert on some matter one day and act like an idiot in the same area the next, so how can I give in to trusting it. Unless I'm doing something wrong and it's on me. The mandate is no more hand-written code. The claim is that if I'm any good, I should know how to squeeze consistent quality results from LLMs. The reality is that I find continuously arguing with and correcting a chat bot all to be mentally intolerable. I'd very earnestly like to understand if the problem is me and what I can do to change.
