I haven’t built engineering teams, but I’ve been in the server programming field for 15 years.
I have tried Claude (with aider) for programming tasks and have been impressed that it could do anything (with handholding) but haven’t been convinced that it’s something that will change how I write code forever.
It’s nice that I can describe how to graph some data in a csv and get 80% of the way there in python after a few rounds of clarification. Claude refused to use seaborn for some reason, but that’s no big deal.
Every time I’ve tried using it for work, though, I was sorely disappointed.
I recently convinced myself that it was pretty helpful in building a yjs backed text editor, but last week realized that it led me down an incorrect path with regards to the prosemirror plugin and I had to rewrite a good chunk of the code.
