Remember that you are also collecting the responsibility of 10 and the pay of 1.
Not even. Your job isn’t to protect prod, it’s to take the blame when prod goes down.
If they expect you to write or go through 1000s of lines of code in a single day. your whole job isn’t programming, is to be the scapegoat.
If I can’t understand the code, and you can’t explain, I’m not validating your pull request.
End of story.
Just ask ChatGPT to explain the code
It’s great at that, had a colleague run a diff through Claude and it explained how the new code was better and how the optimizations worked. Then my colleague realised they’d run the diff the wrong way round, fed Claude the new diff and Claude happily explained how the new code was better and how the optimizations worked.
I’m realizing how over engineered Claude’s solutions are. I have realized now just today that it’s best at just dding tiny updates to code. Not good at architecting anything new at all that has to work for longer than 5 days.
