Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.
In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

.... what horrible breaches have we already had? Why the fuck would you come out and say "oh yeah, all our code is shit" like that?
I understand you're scared of the future, but hiding under a rock won't help you meet it
Honey, maybe this is shocking to you, but shouting "resistance is futile" is not the flex you think it is.
So seriously, why can't you just make decent code instead?
I don't know how shocked we can be when the lions share of this dudes work is blockchain tech.
Most coding is boilerplate or unusual arrangements of business logic. The degree in CS is to be smart enough to avoid NP-complete problems or uncomputable one
Sounds great in theory, but IMO most breakthrough business solutions are based on the existence of an NP-complete problem...the other 90% of keystone projects are more along the line of "updating to use existing technological integrations".
Please provide some example of breakthrough business solutions
what if we cut quality control, bought our materials for the cheapest, assembled it with slave labor and sold it to people whose jobs were erased when we cut quality control?
>app has constant, often bizarre issues
>a month later, a dev says they've been using llms extensively
like fucking clockwork! does a bot or a human want to come forth and explain who linked the pointless "whats up?" bar to notifications, meaning i can't ublock the bar without breaking other things.
no wonder this site is constantly breaking; absolutely embarrassing
I'm baffled at why anyone would say this with their whole chest in 2026.
Today, you and Paul write basically the same thing in differrent flavours, and its either you both being paid by them to say exactly that, or a very samey prompt to their LLM - whose creators are under hefty fire now that their safety related staff quit and warned people.
Not a good look either way.
I assure you their creators are unbothered by some guy quitting and going off to get a writing degree.
Everyone is feeling the tides shifting, we're posting about it to try and warn people about what's happening. The art of software development is rapidly transforming.
I can assure you that outside of the US people are listening very closely to the safety and security reports, and that they are NOT looking good.
Anthropic themself put those warnings out.
And people here do care if their money ends up in some Bund Billionaire's Epstein-stained pockets.
The more something's vibe coded the more breaches and bizarre errors it has, this is a clear and obvious pattern.
MS brags about implementing more vibe coding. New versions of Win 11 just start failing to boot all of a sudden. Personal info is trivially exfiltrated through copilot, etc.
same. i am full-time dictating to claude(s) except when its rude to be loud (via superwhisper.com)
skills + ref. projects + thoughtful nudges = (mostly) closed loop
So that's why the site breaks every day.
There are people actually working and this kind of lazy AI-enthusiastic getting the money.
so that's why bluesky iOS and web is crashing every 15 min
I don't care that a software is coded using AI - I do care that the code it writes is actually good. Increasingly, "software that does not perform well/stay reliable" seems to coincide with "AI written software."
The internet is plagued by enshittification. I hope you strive to be an exception.
Aren't you worried about losing your job if you're now only doing 1% of it?
If you don't mind me asking what are you doing in the spare time?
You assume incorrectly that simply typing code into the computer is the foundational aspect of my job
Well, that explains the increased number of outages lately.
How are you dealing with your skill atrophy? Do you do some practice every now and again?
Which Claude model are you using the most? Is it all Opus?
Would you say it outperforms GPT-5.3-Codex by a wide margin? Might be switching up my models soon…
I've heard different things from different people, it seems like they're both good models and I think it comes down to personal preference between the two. I like Claude's style better, but have several engineers I respect highly that swear by codex
For me Gemini 3 Pro and Opus were the turning points! Gemini is particularly really good at creating UIs better than I can (**as a dev and not a designer)
I’m still learning how to design (or rather, discover) software in this mode. A lot of that happened for me as I was hammering the thing into shape. Now that I’m less intimate with the code, I’m less confident in my opinions.
You will learn nothing if you use slopcoding. Take some courses, read some books, ask some people who actually do it, get some practice.
I barely write code as well. a friend at work has unlimited Claude usage and it's the best thing ever. unfortunately if you see the actual cost against the results it would be like buying an airplane to use it as a taxi :/
The culture shock of finding out humans are not the ultimate cognitive power on the planet is really doing a number on the human psyche. This is the point Douglas Adams tried to make with “so long and thanks for all the fish.”
You can't cite Douglas Adams for this, the point he'd have tried to make with this is 'wow these doors are more useless now we've tried to give them personalities for no adequately explored reason'.
I wrote a blog post saying this and i should post an update because it did not age well 😂
I've used Claude for a couple of personal projects (I'm no longer a coder) over the past 6 months. 2 went fairly fast. One had been bedeviling me: multiple tries over time with poor results. Tried again today & think it's a success. Why? Claude's gotten smarter, asked the key questions after fails
The opus 4.5/6 update since december is so much better than everything before it
It's made me wonder about a few quirky projects that handling by hand drives me nuts, if I can figure out how to define them.
