Those are often also people who are in the company for a long time already, not only newly hired. I think AI makes it just so easy to be lazy.

I guess my hope with the face to face is that people take the feedback and learn to do the actual work again. Right now it feels like a lot of this kind of collaboration and what is okay and what no has to be figured out.

As everyone is an expert now[1] on paper I think it is unfortunately time for a shift again. For years I was big proponent of asynchronous remote work. But it seems like the only reasonable way forward is to discuss things face to face. I still prefer to prepare things async, but then discuss them in person to understand if people actually understand what they are talking about. So far I also have a good time with really being frank and honest with colleagues if something is clearly AI expertise and not that persons expertise.

Mostly though if you do anything with the returned value at the call site you need to change that code anyways? If it is not just passing it on, and even then you might need to adapt its signatures. E.g. if you change from String | Null to String you remove the null handling. If you add Null you need to add Null handling?

But you will end up with something where you can say „this is mine, I did that“ for the rest of your life. Even if no one ever cares. I come back to some of the things I did in the past through hard labour (coding projects, skateboarding videos) and even if it is nice if others appreciate this, they are still always there for myself as sign of what I achieved.

I guess the idea is to show a small token of appreciation. I do that and I am also happy if I receive some on my own repos.

I felt exactly the same, but recently started building side projects again in Haskell and fell in love again. Really brought my passion for software development back. 2026 feels perfect for that, as AI can help with things where one was stuck, not the stuck in a good learning way, forever in the past. Now is the time!

Yes and I do. My above point was just that I’d like to have fast inline auto complete.

I tried copilot for a bit in vscode as well with opus and felt something was off. Somehow as if copilots harness around it just wasn’t as good. But I can’t give solid prove.

I just wish Claude code would also offer fast inline auto complete. Sometimes I’ll just want to have a function definition or some boilerplate spelled out without waiting for the slow Claude response. Or actively switching models. ——- Maybe I can set up a shortcut for that?

This is also my exact workflow here. Thank you. I'm adding things that should be in the basket via Siri to my Obsidian notes. I also add recipes to that list or anything else. Then Claude checks that list once I want to do the shopping, looks through my favorites, and fills the baskets with all the items needed. I also use Claude to list the most frequently bought items for a template that always gets filled in.
