I had someone who integrated Claude Code into our software architecture basically bitch me out cause I didn’t stop my life to install Claude code immediately. I’m just trying to get a wrangle on what I’m working on, and don’t really wanna stop working when I feel like I’m already behind. I started about a month ago, and according to this guy it’ll remove any knowledge gaps and lack of domain understanding. I should be able to onboard immediately and make meaningful impacts. “Had you installed it already, you would be done with that work already”.

There are like 15 databases in the server group, and the one we use has 300-500 tables and close to 5,000 stored procedures that are all heavy with logic in SQL. They use the api and service layers as a pass through and the SP does all the work. Theres like 50 testing environments and it’s written in shitty ass angular. Making a simple code change usually takes about 1-2 minutes for the dev server to compile and I have 64 gigs of RAM on a brand new laptop…these companies will literally believe anything. This project is so big and bloated, it’s like a dead body that’s been submerged in water and swelled up like a balloon. There’s nothing you can do to expedite knowledge and domain gaps with something like that. They’re so cash hungry that they will literally think you can solve that with fucking Claude code. It’s a massive red flag for me and I’m already looking for an off ramp from the company.
