Drop of light in a sea of darkness. I wasn't expecting seeing this in hn. This site is infected.

Can you pls fix Gemini? It's a nightmare to use and it sometimes confused the language i talk with it.

I don't know how they eval me. Maybe they eval usage and maybe they don't. I just know I feel uncomfortable to sit next to him sometimes

Not a big fan of him,but he was a dev before and it was a nightmare working with him as a dev.

Same. My team lead sits near me. He keeps checking if I'm using claude, or when we talk he pushes me to use claude.

It's have gotten to the point that I wanted to work on something manually, so I booked a room in the office. Just to not be at my desk, because I'm afraid my claude usage will be reflected in my performance review.

> holy claude

With comments like this, I'm not even gonna bother opening the link

Neither do I. And we are not even at the 10x they so eagarly wanting. Nearly 3x and that's assuming every new MR matters.

I think its a combination of phycosis, detachment from the codebase, and weak critical thinking

I have said it in some prev threads but the majority of my workplaces code is written by ai today, and it's not looking good.

All implemention decisions are largely decided by claude these days.

We have so many useless tests, so many repetitive code, Every change, even few lines long will trigger 25-50 additional files changes just because everything is so horribly written.

I have heard this was the case before ai, but it got so much worse.

At the end, I believe it comes down to 3 things: care - which before ai you had to have at least some care. Strong leadership - the ai psychosis spreads like a desease in our csuite. Ownership - there is none, every interaction you have about something starts with "but claude thinks that or says this"

I wish we could go back.

I honestly feel that all those big ai companies think AI will long term harm humanity, but not their ai.

A classic "it will not happen to me"

Read through the readme a bit, it's obv it is

I believe most mid-side companies are in this situation today.

I have the same hope :)

I believe software will go the same road as the cloth industry went. From quality cloth that holds for years, to shit quality cloth that look good but doesnt hold more than few month.

Yet, we are being sold that this is _the way weve all been waiting for_ ? what?!

Most, if not all, of the code in the company I work in is written by AI. Our tests are useless. We have tests that make sure that mongoose schemas are creating the collections defined in them. We have tests that check that zod shcemas parse objects currently. Every PR, even if 1 line change, will drag 25 file changes because our tests are so ad-hoc, so verbose, and so incompatible with each other. Imagine how the codebase is looking... This is a badge of incompetence for the company I work with, and prob to the entire tech world.

The funny part is? This makes our managers and investors proud, every PR is bigger, we make x3 more PRs (wheres the promised x10).

When they say this is the death of software engineering, this is what they mean.

You see, I call bs on that. Not on the part that agents are an accelerator, they might be, but at the part that it was a 5 year project.

We engineers, had the power to dictate how our days will look, and we were able to give ballooned timelines to give us room to braeth.

This has changed. The power is no longer in our hands, for good or bad.

I suspect it as a two month project without agents. Max.
