10 years is optimistic. I'm already seeing management telling experienced developers "You aren't using Claude hard enough."
we were mandated to double our output to justify what the company is spending on Claude and to do so we were told to use god awful skills that are constructed in a way that often ignore guide rails and bypass permission rules causing more time to be wasted in debugging and fixing shitty ai slop than would have been spent actually by humans planning and implementing sound changes.
Consistent with my experience! With the added bonus of cheap, outsourced developers who can't find their ass with both hands.
I have a feeling there's a fine line between not hard enough and everyone spending $2k per month on tokens.
I don't think of myself as a developer but have been doing IT for 25 years before my current unemployment that is creeping toward two years. I have a lot of linkedin contacts in the same boat.
The feels. Week 1 here.
