Baldur BjarnasonAll the devs saying that Anthropic’s code quality is “normal” are telling on themselves and everybody they’ve worked with
(Also supports what many have been saying about software quality being a crisis that precedes LLMs, but that’s another story)
Briala@baldur I've been a programmer since I was in high school. The rather large employer I had been at for many years and was let go from 2 months ago was not only leaning into the whole "AI" shit but actively separating software engineering and software coding.
I could see general coding quality was dropping. And their very processes was preferencing dumb code monkeys who didn't want to understand the design.
David Culley@static You're better off not being there anymore.
I was in a similar situation, only that I resigned myself, by my own choice.
@davidculley Yah. I was looking for an exit, TBH. I was kinda expecting redundancy of just me and maybe a few colleagues early April, but they did all of us at the end of January. I _am_ on the recovery from burnout. It takes time.
