| First, this is the problem: > ...now his advice it only get Claude Code and learn how to make it automate toil, and multiple claude agents to perform tasks instead of manually writing code. Advice from creator of Claude Code is for you to continue to use Claude Code to spend more money on tokens instead of knowing what you are doing or what the code does. I don't think that will help in the long run. In fact this over-reliance will help accelerate the decline in being able to find hard to reach bugs and will create a new class of bugs from AI agents. > Do you also see this pattern emerging? This helps experienced engineers and those who know what they are doing. For those who have no idea or have no experience then they tend to spend even more on tokens which is exactly what Anthropic needs you to keep doing. > Do you think software engineering and managarial roles are slowly merging and the value traditional software engineering is decreasing? They were already merging before LLMs, (managers that can code and SWEs that become managers) but that doesn't mean the value of traditional software engineering decreases. Software Engineering accounts for maintainance, security and time and usually producing more code to solve a problem just increases all of that and also the maintainance debt and the cognitive debt on the prompter. The moment one needs to monetize that software, then software engineering becomes even more relevant (one feature can open another security issue) with or without LLMs. > Are above advices overindexed on Claude Code, because Boris created it? Possibly. But that does not mean it is good advice, especially from someone that is selling a product telling you to use it even more and you not looking at what it is doing. It was said that Claude Code was Boris's side project that was built on a bad architecture and was difficult to maintain until the Bun developers were hired to fix those issues. Since they understood how the JS runtime works they knew how to fix those bugs when Claude got stuck, whilst also maintaining the Bun runtime. The point is, it is still worth knowing what you are doing and learning about how it all works and not soley relying on a coding agent to do it all for you. |
