Exactly that is also my experience also with Claude Code. It can create a lot of stuff impressively but with LOTS of more code than necessary. It’s not really effective in the end. I have more than 35 years of coding experience and always dig into the newest stuff. Quality wise it’s still not more than junior dev stuff even with latest models, sorry. And I know how to talk to these machines.

In German you say „Nett ist die kleine Schwester von Scheisse“ which means „Nice is the polite version of being an asshole“. And this is how I cope with what decision-makers say. Zuckerberg was also „nice“ for a long time.

Might be but sometimes you don’t have another choice when employers are enforcing AIs which have no „feeling“ for context of all business processes involved created by human workers in the years before. Those who spent a lot of love and energy for them mostly. And who are now forced to work against an inferior but overpowered workforce.

Don’t stop sabotaging AI efforts.

that’s my feeling also. We will get this more and more in future.
