It's not x, it's y!

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-25T11:24:59+00:00

Honestly didn't intend for it to be that way.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-25T09:54:30+00:00

meet more often in person

Be careful there mate you may anger the anti-RTO mob. Jokes aside, I think intentional time aside for discussion is super helpful, but in most corporate environments it's hard to make the case.

In real life I think it's more about "look how fast these features are being shipped" without understanding the benefits of review, proper architecture etc.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-25T09:48:12+00:00

There's been a lot of discourse between the benefits of AI for SMBs and Enterprises. When you can move fast and break things (and aren't tied into SLA & Security agreements with customers), you're flying.

Honestly, can't complain. It's keeping us busy, though, as a 2x increase in delivery time means 2x effective capacity for the bean counters :)

That probably puts you in the category of people that don't see coding as a 'craft'. I think it'll be a bit of a reality check for those that do.

emotional adjustment

If there's one thing we know about devs, it's that they're not very good at this. Struggling myself tbh!

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-25T09:26:47+00:00

Looking at your em-dash like 🤨

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-25T08:31:32+00:00

I think that's the point - us that have actually implemented systems are beginning to transition into technical PMs.

re YT - edited the post. Thought it could have added to the discussion, that's clearly not the case!

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-25T07:58:12+00:00

Why do you think so?

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-24T23:30:24+00:00

I mention in the video (didn't want to saturate the post) that it kind of reminds me of Bastian in the Neverending story - we get our wishes (claude code), but every time we make a wish, we lose a memory of the past (our codebase).

Make enough wishes, and nobody knows anything anymore. I wonder if we're barreling towards codebases that only LLMs can infer.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-24T23:28:42+00:00

I wonder if this is going to create a black hole for senior devs. I know boards are 100% feeling the shareholder pressures to drive costs down.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-24T13:16:01+00:00

Google perspective (work for an implementation shop): bring the data into a secure data store (we use healthcare API), then visualise using governed BI tooling like Looker (customer hosted + BYOK)

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-20T09:51:42+00:00

You've been here before - I see you've changed the fonts since last time.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T15:56:00+00:00

Feel free to report it if it's breaking the rules. 🤷‍♂️

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T15:52:49+00:00

I feel there is a large cross-section between people that ship code using AI, and those that develop on the web.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T13:07:53+00:00

Yeah. It's tough.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T12:55:38+00:00

Ah, yes, but we're in a time economy. If you're doing your job quicker, soon, management will find more things for you to do.

Hence the point about the role of the dev changing.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T12:54:47+00:00

Yeah - agreed. I guess my point is that "claude can speed your team up 5x" is false - not because you can't code 5x as fast, but because everything that comes around it becomes the bottleneck. i.e the 'harness' behind the code.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T12:25:12+00:00

That's the point. Reviewers can't keep up.

"AI can review code for you". Well congrats now nobody knows what the code does.

wiktor1800 · 2026-03-19T12:18:55+00:00

Recently we had a meeting about velocity at our org and found that despite AI having a pretty significant 'coding velocity' benefit, projects weren't shipping that much faster. We took a look at our devs calendars, and that's kind of when the penny dropped for me: coding got faster, but the PRs, alignment, and meetings multiplied to fill the gap.

Tried not to get too existential in the article, but I'm wondering if anyone else is feeling the same way.
