I know plenty of people who are shittier in writing code than Claude. People with real jobs who are expensive like 50-100k/year.

People whom you have to always handhold and were code review is fundamental.

You can write tests, pr gates etc.

It's still a scale in what you can let them do unsupervised vs controlling them more closely but already better than real people I know. Because they are also a lot faster.

Ah, you meant I overestimate the quality of people, not underestimate. I think that really depends. I have worked with some amazing people :-)

Low quality engineering is always visible to outside. Low quality engineers using LLMs won't get any better.

That shocked me the most tbh

I had big hopes for one person until he copy pasted verbatim LLM responses to me...
