The subject matter is interesting but the amount of slop makes it difficult to read through. Yeah, it's great that you can throw your technical problems at Claude without caring much about the generated output but treating your own writing that you actually want to share with the world the same way is a terrible idea.

LLM-generated slop about LLM-generated slop, wonderful.

A month ago the company I work at with over 400 engineers decided to cancel all IDE subscriptions (Visual Studio, JetBrains, Windsurf, etc.) and move everyone over to Claude Code as a "cost-saving measure" (along with firing a bunch of test engineers). There was no migration plan - the EVP of Technology just gave a demo showing 2 greenfield projects he'd built with Claude Opus over a weekend and told everyone to copy how he worked. A week later the EVP had to send out an email telling people to stop using Opus because they were burning through too many tokens.

Claude seems to be getting nerfed every week since we've switched. I wonder how our EVP is feeling now.

>I think though that the day is coming where I can trust the code it produces and at that point I'll just by writing specs. It's not there yet though.

Must be nice to still have that choice. At the company I work for they've just announced they're cancelling all subscriptions to JetBrains, Visual Studio, Windsurf, etc. and forcing every engineer to use Claude Code as a cost-saving measure. We've been told we should be writing prompts for Claude instead of working in IDEs now.

A "you're holding it wrong" with the implication that the author is a bad engineer as the cherry on top. Brilliant stuff.

Now maybe it’s just my familiarity with Promises, but I look at the third example and I can quickly see an opportunity.

This entire article is built around the author's ignorance and could easily be summarised as "I avoid async/await syntax because I'm more familiar with promises". The author doesn't even appear to understand that async/await is syntactic sugar for promises.
