This is a really wrong perspective on software. Short term monkey style coding does not produce products. You might get money but that is not what it is about.

This is similar to retarded builders in Turkey saying “wow, I can make the same building, sell for the same price, but spend way less” and then millions of people becoming victim when there is an earthquake.

This is not how responsible people should think about things in society

Getting money is 100% what it is about and Claude Code is great product.

It's very buggy. Just look at the ticket tracker. How can you say it is great; are you a light, nontechnical user?

Nobody rewards responsibility though. It's all about making number go up.

You're not alone in thinking that, but unfortunately I think it's a minority opinion. The only thing most people and most businesses care about is money. And frankly not even longterm, sustainable money. Most companies seem happy to extract short term profits, pay out the executives with big bonuses, then rot until they collapse
