> Things have changed drastically now, engineers with these tools(like claude code) have become unstoppable
I’ve spent the last week unwinding my coworkers slop who said the same thing.
I’ve spent the last week unwinding my coworkers slop who said the same thing.
I am not talking about vibe coding here, which is totally different and understandable. But I am talking about the professional context where the structure is already in place.
Here is my workflow, if it helps:
1. I have a system level prompt i execute(command/skill) before I start anything which says things like
i) follow SOLID principles
ii) follow TDD
iii) follow these testing principles like, don't test the implementation details etc
and 20 other things
3. I review everything, add feedback to the generated plan, prompt again, and finally finalize the plan
4. now that the plan is finalized, I would have a small alignment with co-workers and ask it implement step by step, and then before proceeding with next step, i will tell it to ask me for feedback
each steps code is reviewed and commited, before proceeding to next step
5. once all steps are done, manual testing is done, i do a local review
6. I have a specific skill which reviews everything, and gives me feedback
7. we have human reviewers who will review the code, and coderabbit
8. then we take it to the staging and uat before taking to prod
so see we have not skipped any process of "software engineering", claude code is just an accelrant
but if you are not doing most of the above steps, i see what you are saying would happen by default
