Good luck finding a job. All the decision making business people I know see only two types of “technical people”.

The ones who are “AI pilled” and the contagious lepers.

Let me preface my comment by saying I also still write a lot of code by hand - especially when it's something I know I need to understand in depth, and in some cases defend.

With that said, this caught my eye:

> AI gravitates toward single-struct-holds-everything because it satisfies the immediate prompt with minimal ceremony.

This is too general. "AI" is used here as a catch-all, but in fact, it was the specific model under the specific conditions you ran your prompt, including harness, markdowns, PRDs, etc. So it's not fair to say "AI does X!" in this case.

It's also very much up to you. It's very common to have a frontier model plan an architecture before you have another model implement code. If you're just one-shotting an LLM to do everything you get mediocre, more brittle code.

This stuff is still being figured out by a lot of people. But I feel the core of the issue is not using AI well. Scoping, task alignment, validation, are crucial.

The title is just flat out wrong. The author isn't going back to writing code by hand, they're plopping some new stuff into their CLAUDE.md to "fix" the issues they see AI is having.

Not sure if just me, but this post feels AI written?

I dismissed “AI Psychosis” as a silly term, even as a strong critic of LLMs for programming tools.

But every time I read something like this, I seriously wonder about the mental state of the person that wrote it.

How do you get to this point?

Writing code by hand is an oxymoron. You don’t write code with AI, AI doesn’t write, it generates.

another behavior I noticed is that even you plan with an agent than a lot of business logic leaks to the code.

some states, for an example, are meant to be assumed from the data shape, rather than the actual state fields, but damn they like adding a state field.

nuts

This doesnt make much sense the article itself is AI written

It would have been easy to run a few ai agents to review the code and find these issues as well and architect it clearly

I don’t really think OP is writing code themselves since they admit they still use agents for code gen. I’ve really scaled back the amount I use agents though because in the medium to long term I haven’t been getting good results with them. And it’s not enjoyable. That’s enough for me, I’ll do whatever for a job because who cares, if the company wants slop I will gladly give them that, but for my own shit Ive gone back to circa 2024 and am mostly just using them as a chatbot.

Inb4 “you’re gonna be replaced” god damn it I hope so, I do not want to spend the rest of my life behind a computer screen…
