Those are often also people who are in the company for a long time already, not only newly hired. I think AI makes it just so easy to be lazy.
I guess my hope with the face to face is that people take the feedback and learn to do the actual work again. Right now it feels like a lot of this kind of collaboration and what is okay and what no has to be figured out.
As everyone is an expert now[1] on paper I think it is unfortunately time for a shift again. For years I was big proponent of asynchronous remote work. But it seems like the only reasonable way forward is to discuss things face to face. I still prefer to prepare things async, but then discuss them in person to understand if people actually understand what they are talking about.
So far I also have a good time with really being frank and honest with colleagues if something is clearly AI expertise and not that persons expertise.
Mostly though if you do anything with the returned value at the call site you need to change that code anyways? If it is not just passing it on, and even then you might need to adapt its signatures. E.g. if you change from String | Null to String you remove the null handling. If you add Null you need to add Null handling?
But you will end up with something where you can say „this is mine, I did that“ for the rest of your life. Even if no one ever cares. I come back to some of the things I did in the past through hard labour (coding projects, skateboarding videos) and even if it is nice if others appreciate this, they are still always there for myself as sign of what I achieved.
I felt exactly the same, but recently started building side projects again in Haskell and fell in love again. Really brought my passion for software development back. 2026 feels perfect for that, as AI can help with things where one was stuck, not the stuck in a good learning way, forever in the past. Now is the time!
Same here it just feels like something so simple, I’d rather have it under my own control. That way I can keep it independent of claude as well. I use it for all kind of routine tasks like updating the summary of projects I am working on or tracking some personal activities. My setup looks like this: https://www.dev-log.me/click_recurring_tasks_for_claude/
That sounds awesome! I basically do all the same sports, but I always need to win or to get better at them. I am trying to move in your direction though.
Awesome, I am finding so little actual experience reports on this, if you build something similar, I'd be very happy to hear about how it's going. Feel free to reach out directly to me.
While working on a sideproject I explored lean 4 a bit and figured it actually something that can be very easily integrated into any project if one wants to prove correctness.
Nice thank you. If something came out of this that would be amazing. I am not the biggest fan of mcp, as they are a waste of tokens though. I shot you a message on LinkedIn as well, was wondering if this caused some discussion internally at Rewe because it was immediately blocked.
I tried copilot for a bit in vscode as well with opus and felt something was off. Somehow as if copilots harness around it just wasn’t as good. But I can’t give solid prove.
