6 Weeks of Claude Code

Yeah I noticed the issue with more Junior developers right away. Some developers, Junior or not, have yet to be exposed to environments where their PRs are put under HEAVY scrutiny. They are used to loosey-goosey and unfortunately they are not prepared to put LLM changes under the level of scrutiny they require.

The worst is getting, even smallish, PRs with a bunch of changes that look extraneous or otherwise off. After asking questions the code changes without the questions being answered and likely with a new set of problems. I swear I've been prompting an LLM through an engineer/PR middleman :(

Our offshore devs keep doing this and it drives me nuts. No answers to my question, completely different code gets pushed.

That is how you get Oracle source code. It broke my illusions after entering real life big company coding after university, many years ago. It also led to this gem of an HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442637
