I disagree that offloading all coding to AI makes sense. We started using Claude heavily for our services work about a year ago and what we found is you still need to understand the codebase deeply to know when the AI is hallucinating or changing wrong things. The prompt-wait-evaluate cycle you mentioned is real and kills productivity on brownfield projects. What actually worked for us was using AI for scaffolding new features or writing tests, not for debugging existing code. On debugging I still do it myself because I know our system and can fix it in 2 minutes vs 20 minutes prompting Claude. The people saying they never write code anymore probably either work on greenfield projects or they're not measuring their actual time cost accurately. |
