I spend a lot of time at my org doing one of the following things:
1. figuring out how to onboard engineers and bootstrap them to do their own work to draw down their backlogs
2. show the team cool ideas to spark their interest or bring them from “I’m never using this useless crap AI” to “oh, wow, I never thought of that… fires up a terminal and creates own cool thing”
3. creating a backlog of other things people want to automate but never wrote down/thought through that Claude can do in short order for immediate value
1. Start with the ‘brainstorm’ session where you explain your feature or the task that you're trying to complete. 2. Allow it to write up a design doc, then an implementation plan - both saved to disk - by asking you multiple clarifying questions. Feel free to use voice transcription for this because it is probably as good as typing, if not better. 3. Open up a new Claude window and then use a git worktree with the Execute Plan command. This will essentially build out in multiple steps, committing after about three tasks. What I like to do is to have it review its work after three tasks as well so that you get easier code review and have a little bit more confidence that it's doing what you want it to do.
Overall, this hasn't really failed me yet and I've been using it now for two weeks and I've used about, I don't know, somewhere in the range of 10 million tokens this week alone.
Compare that with the commercial models where a lot of that is done on a large scale for you.

12+ years as a platform engineer -> SRE at a number of top-tier startups or PaaS companies. Currently seeking my next senior or staff level SRE/DevOps/Platform Engineer position from Chicago or beyond!
A few projects I'm proudest of recently:
* Successfully planned & executed a six-month migration to EKS most recently at Sprout Social using custom-built pipelines which improved overall reliability and scalability for 150-ish microservices.
* Achieved a 75% reduction in AWS costs for the Moovweb (now Edgio/Akamai) Mobile Edge CDN by optimizing Node.js runtimes for use with Kubernetes.
* Helped develop two internal Go web apps used by the AWS EC2 CSET team to assist with enterprise client support engagements and dependencies.
* A couple years ago, I was instrumental in iteratively upgrading Hotel Tonight's core API backend from Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.3 with zero downtime, reducing endpoint response times by 45% and improving overall system performance.
Looking forward to hearing about any opportunities! Thanks!
I knew it was bad, but I was bit taken aback.
However, I did get a little discouraged that there was a lack of people my age trying to get involved, though. People can complain all they want... but until they do, it won't change.
Been promising something for almost two years, pre-orders taken, nothing delivered...
I feel as though you may want to look into the library ecosystem a bit more. The awesome-go repo is seriously invaluable. https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go
