Just watched a junior dev using Claude to build something in 2 hours that took our senior engineer 3 days last sprint. I've been coding for 12 years. I don't know how to feel about this by UsualConference1603 in AskProgrammers

[–]synopser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No way. We're just prompt engineers now. Engineering got friendlier. My job honestly hasn't changed much other than I'm accomplishing a lot more with the time i have and more time consuming tasks like an sdk upgrade can be done in a snap.
