Ponytail Queen :
ai code is spagetti code. unoptimized, unstructured, a mess, even if it "works"

Luke Stilson :
Bro you using and trusting Claude way too much. I'm 10x the programmer I was because I'm letting it teach me not blindly accepting ai edits that's ridiculous

You were a 10x engineer, now you’ve gotta be a 10x architect

programmers put coding on a pedestal. it was always about problem solving never coding. coding was the medium not the end

I’ve written over 2million lines of code since last November by pressing a button and sitting at my computer for 15+ hours a day. 😅 I’m coding a multi Ai swarm trading and decision platform for DeFi, crypto, prediction markets, and equities. Running my llm’s through ollama and coding on windsurf, cursor, vs code, GitHub, and claude code/open claw.

If your only skill is coding you’re not a software engineer. Coding is one the tasks.

i have no idea how you are able to code something more complicated without actively guiding Claude. I am working on 10M+ lines projects and Claude cannot comprehend at all such context. For me it is like my personal junior assistant programmer who has a very good Google /memory skills

Results oriented engineering is almost as old as time itself, and even appears in nature like you said. It's what programmers have always done. Do you write assembly code? Do you review and understand the 1000+ 3rd party libraries you're using in your app? No programmer truly understands every binary instruction going on behind the scenes and that has never been an expectation. If what you are building satisfies your target results in functionality, performance, security, scalability, etc. then how you get there doesn't really matter.

I did a complex data flow app with claude code. I reviewed as good as possible, but as you said, it was not possible. The app never fully worked. 1-5% of the events just landed nowhwre. I tried so long with Claude to fix. Also tried other tools. Offered logs. Not working at all. Then I decided to refactor the whole code base by hand. Took me 3 days without AI (except Cursor autocomplete). After that 100% working, no more missing events. For easy features and apps AI does well, but for complex things definitely still not...

AI has become a better programmer than I am. I gave up. I’m no longer a program but architect.

Can relate. After 25 years I'm glad I got out of software.

Once upon a time we had to track memory usage, pass pointers and addresses then we got python and perl and such. Is it better? No, but we got to build bigger and faster and move forward. We just buy more memory and disk to compensate.

Dr Xylo :
No one cared that the software was intimate. No one cared that the art took you days or years. It may add to the personal experience but it doesn't affect the end product if the goal was reached. You're attaching a human value to the output as if it's an extension of you and it's not - and if you see it that way, that's fine but it's personal at that point. The hotdog is a hotdog, whether you wrapped the meat in a casing from grinding it up and linking it OR if it comes out of a package. The hotdog is a hotdog.

I’ve switched to struggling with math problems. Scratches the same itch. And I can do it while the code writes itself.

Writing code is done by the AI. You are now a systems engineer, an architect, a product owner. Suffering was never a thing for me with coding. I enjoyed the challenge. I still enjoy the challenge with AI. But new abilities are unlocked. Also, spend time watching how others use AI. Especially non engineers who are successfully writing incredible things. It is mind expanding in a different way.

I read a math book in which the author discussed how they had to memorise and do logarithms in a manual way. Then came scientific calculators, and the author said he didn't miss the old ways with logarithms. This is what AI is doing now.

25 year coder here. Feel you. But I’ve embraced and you can think of it as a higher level of abstraction. You ever write assembler? No need because of abstractions. You can do more now. Enjoy the upgrade.

I see clearly your point, though it sounds a lot like the classic lament of old-school developers who never bothered to adapt and are still desperately clinging to the past. For years, many in this industry got way too comfortable cultivating that 'tech-hipster' persona—commanding CEO-level salaries while operating with a level of bohemian aloofness that frankly rarely translated into actual efficiency. They lived in a bubble where they needed armies of QA testers to catch bugs for months, endless detailed reports, and constant hand-holding from project managers just to remind them of basic timelines and requirements. And even with all that infrastructure supporting them, the final products—with very few exceptions—were often just bloated, spaghetti-code messes. They were riddled with patches, technical debt, and bugs, and they frequently missed the mark on the team's initial vision entirely. When I started using AI, I didn't jump straight into the deep end. I began by asking for ways to solve specific problems; it gave me code snippets with detailed explanations, and I realized the potential immediately. I didn't stop there. I kept pushing, and today, I don't just write code—I supervise the process. I have Claude handling the branches, forks, and pushes directly to Git, complete with immaculate documentation for every change. The results speak for themselves. The UIs are cleaner and more intuitive because the 'designer'—the AI—doesn't have an ego; it respects every single one of my requirements to the letter. I get iterations delivered in seconds, not weeks. At the end of the day, the tools I build now hit 100% of the project requirements because I am the planner, the project manager, and the client. The bottleneck is gone.

Just one question, do you want to fly a plane which controlled by code written in such way?)
