But you have to beat the team with vision + strategy who is also blasting out code with LLMs.

Certainly, the time it takes to figure out that an idea is bad had been shortened :)

There's a difference between vibe coded slop, vibe coded kinda slop built by an engineer, AI assisted engineers, and AI planning. I enjoy writing code by hand but it's quickly becoming apparent that LLMs are now a tool that one should be using in some capacity.

Nobody writes code in notepad anymore, even though you could and might even like all the black text.

I'm fairly pessimistic about LLMs, but I do find they're a good research tool. If I can accelerate finding answers amid the slurry of Confluence, Slack, assorted other intranet places and the web, I can get back to thinking about the design and programming.

I have a user CLAUDE.md that tells it not to presume to modify any files, and a bunch of internal MCPs for our logging and monitoring tools, documents, git repositories and such, and I've been dabbling with writing skill files so it can access some other internal things.

So I can basically say "this thing isn't working because x, and it's probably related to y not having z" and it'll go off and find info buried in the corporate abyss.

Then other people yeet wildly awful LLM generated PRs over the fence and I lose my sanity from basically having fight a constant battle against a slow rot of software quality that will bite us later.
