Matti J.Advice needed: my boss is telling me I should try #ClaudeCode and then 'debrief' with her and our lead IT guy. I'm not a developer. I became the go-to #VBA person in my team some years back and then I did a small project with #PowerAutomate and #PowerApps that convinced my boss that I have great automation skills. Now I'm worried that I'm going to be expected to start vibe coding always bigger automation solutions until something goes wrong and some nasty security problem comes crashing down on me. Then I'll be standing there like the shrug emoji saying 'I guess we would have needed a real developer for this'. How do I pull the breaks in the Claude Code 'debrief' meeting in a subtle, professional way?
Matthew Martin@mattijamsa I got no advice for the people problem, you're allowed to not like it. The safest way to use claude code w/o it writing code for you is to say, "please look for bugs". If it finds one, you fix it.
This assumes you've .vb files on the file system somewhere. If not, you got an excellent excuse, claude code isn't going to be able to automate a widows app to get at the code in the cloud/ms-access binary/etc, it will try but it won't be pretty. UIPath will probably figure that out first.
ZenHeathen 🇨🇦@mattijamsa Use your prompting to deliberately craft the code to bring your boss down, instead?

@mattijamsa I suggest emailing Anthropic support directly to ask if it is a wise use of claude code to generate artifacts that will be used in production with nobody on the team trained to review them. The answer may surprise you.
Jukka Niiranen@mattijamsa Now that Claude Code source code has leaked and we know it's a hot mess of AI-generated slop spaghetti, maybe you can use #ClaudeCode itself as an example of where vibe coding without human programmer oversight can lead to.

- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
@frueheneuzeit@mattijamsa are they expecting you to do vibe coding in VBA or do they expect you to use a language you don't know?
