Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking" as workers spend 12-hour days pressing enter

I don’t hate Claude Code or whatever. I hate the company pushing you to constantly churn out shit so you need to turn to these tools to keep up pace or get fired.

Architecture decisions or code quality? Fuck it just ship.

You have concerns about an approach? You’re the enemy to your coworker’s promotion. Get out of the way.

It’s all just so depressing. It will all come crumbling down. It’s a matter of when not if. But god I hate this ride right now.

Time to lean into the slop extra hard. Use AI to create massive PRs, use AI to approve the PRs. Automate sending slack alerts when a feature ships. Be loud, really show some massive “Productivity”.

Our place measures PR counts so a ton of tiny ass PRs is actually the move.

I’m sorry for your shitty workplace.

Yeah it’s not fun. Between that and now quarterly performance reviews things have really gone downhill.

Quarterly? Wow. Some MBA was probably like public companies need to report quarterly so we should put employees on the same schedule! Dumbass idea.
