If you're being honest, I bet your codebase is going to shit and your skills are in rapid decline. I bet you have a ton of redundant code, broken patterns, shit tests, and your coworkers are noticing the slop and getting tired of fixing it.

Eventually, your code be such shit that Claude Code will struggle to even do basic CRUD because there are four redundant functions and it keeps editing the wrong ones. Your colleagues will go to edit your code, only to realize that it's such utter garbage that they have to rewrite the whole thing because that's easier than trying to make sense of the slop you produced under your own name.

If you were feeling overwhelmed by management, and Claude Code is alleviating that, I fear you aren't cut out for the work.
