For context: I’m a software eng @ a fortune 500/FAANG tier company. We use AI. We treat all ai code with humans as the bottleneck. That is: You generate AI code, you own it. It has bugs? It’s your bug. Claude has only gotten better. 4.7 reasoning has only improved, albeit it thinks more. My question is: what the hell are y’all up to that I constantly hear things like claude broke and everything sucks? You need to review the code. YOU need to understand what claude outputs. AI is nondeterministic, so I don’t know why people are creating agentic flows for deterministic work. Need determinism? Generate an audit the code man. What are people’s workflows here that I constantly hear about degraded quality? Personally I just create plenty of skills and harnesses for information that it needs, I set off parallel tasks that are sandboxed from each other (E.g using a worktree, different folder, whatever your taste is), I review the code, I tweak it myself manually… and that’s it. At the end of the day, I’ve been a software engineer for 10 years, I understand anything claude generates is something I have to own and be able to debug eventually myself if the world suddenly gets rid of AI (which we know it won’t, but it’s the sentiment that should be held). I’m not coming from a place of reprimanding, truly I’m not, but I just don’t see how it’s gotten worse. I work on very high perf software and claude has helped a lot in saving me time on ASM analysis and algorithmic reasoning for things where throughput matters. submitted by /u/irelatetolevin
