When I ask the younger devs at work about their code they often tell me what they asked Claude to do instead of telling me what their code does. It’s so frustrating.

"For basically nothing’… If it’s basically nothing then use your damn brain to do it.

I envy those that can retire soon. I’m halfway through my career, not enough money to retire yet.

AI is the worst thing that ever happened to software engineering. I’m actually reviewing my options for getting out of it.

First they forced us back to the office despite a mountain of evidence showing hybrid work is more productive.

Now they’re forcing us to use AI even if it’s pure garbage.

I’m so sick of these micromanaging, power-tripping buffoons. I can’t wait to retire.

Am I the only one that doesn’t have enough going on in their life that can be automated by agenetic AI? I mean, if I had an AI-powered robot that can do my cooking and cleaning that would be helpful, but other than that I just don’t have anything for it to do.

This is even dumber than tracking how many lines of code each dev commits.
