I agree with all you’ve said. Gemini loves deleting tests as well, and all of them will relentlessly stub things to make unit tests ‘easy’. What experience brought me is knowing where to steer them, e.g. scraping all their shitty glue code and hand-holding Sonnet into implementing classes, DI, and unit tests that aren’t brittle at all. In that way, the agents have been nice to work with: they remind us of why cleaner code and good practices make for maintainable code. I hate their React spaghetti, but most places I’ve worked had tons of React spaghetti anyway… All of this said: I actually miss steering juniors instead. Humans are frustrating to work with, but they are also adaptable, grow with time, and are… you know, human. Mentoring Claude isn’t exactly fun or rewarding, in the way mentoring a colleague would be. And thankfully we have memory MCP servers, otherwise it would be like mentoring a brand new intern every time you fire up Claude. |
