Co-working with AI is an important skill to learn these days. Similar to paying a bit for AWS for your personal projects as a good way to learn all the AWS tools for your career.

What is the skill that needs to be learned? I've been forced to vibe code everything at work, there's no skill required to ask Claude code to do something.

I think there's a difference in using claude code at work to resolve issues or user stories which are patching existing software and already define what is trying to be solved and what the acceptance criteria is versus using claude code to build something from scratch, where you are acting as an architect.

It leaves more room for skill expression when you're making architectural decisions, defining scope, and designing the application.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better

I've found that adapting my thinking to how LLMs work best is a real friction point. If you're not doing that, it spits out junk. Your job just has low standards, get used to it.

Yes, realizing the fact that most jobs have low standards, and adapting to LLMs being good enough for these low standards is certainly a friction point. Giving up caring is hard.

Meh. That's fine if you really don't want to build things, and are mainly concerned about increasing your market value.

If you like creating, buying software from Anthropic is boring as hell.

But I thought LLMs democratize development?! Now AI is a “skill” that you have to pay for? Shocking!
