This is an example of someone who’s in deep denial and my New Year’s Resolution is not to debate productivity gains from using AI.

What was interesting is the comments are almost uniformly senior engineers with 10+ years of experience talking about how Claude Code debunks this thinking.

The hype is now reality when it comes to software engineering. The interesting discussion now is the ramifications.

@carnage4life what I think really works is that claude knows “of” a lot of things. It can point you in the right direction when you need to find your way in new terrain. Using a new api, upgrading to a new version. And it can write code a lot faster so ic you have a relatively standard problem it’ll type like mad and create a standard solution for you. So a senior sparring partner who knows every framework and a medior coder who can churn out lines per second.
