Yeah, me too #ClaudeCode

"AI is writing 90% of our code" sounds impressive before you realize that AI-generated code is orders of magnitude more verbose & less efficient than code written by a professional software engineer.

But "we ship 9 lines of fluff for each line of code that does something" doesn't sound as impressive.

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.

Most developers now use coding assistants. I do too—#Copilot at work, #ClaudeCode at home. As a developer, I prefer not to repeat myself. This post explains why and how to avoid repetition with skills.

I posted about the Claude Code leak on LinkedIn and almost immediately someone attacked me about my criticism. They tried the "take a look at COBOL and get back to me" angle.

Buddy. I've written COBOL. I spent several years working almost daily with a 3-million-line monstrosity of a COBOL program. I was working on another app that interfaced with it, but in that work I occasionally had to read the code and in a few cases modify it. Granted I haven't spent as much time looking at the leaked Claude Code source code (and won't lol), but nevertheless I confidently declare that Claude Code is worse. "Spaghetti code" doesn't come close to describing this thing.

Anthropic apologists still coming out of the woodwork to run cover for them or complain, 24 hours after I posted that the Claude Code source code is horribly ill-structured.

You don't have to pretend that Claude Code's source code is lovely just because you like using it or are impressed by whatever madness is going on around AI right now.

Experimenting with #AI #subagents.

I delegated 4 GitHub issues to parallel subagents. The biggest win wasn't the speed — it was context isolation. Here's how I did it.

I recently reread Fred Brooks's 1986 classic No Silver Bullet, which you can find here: https://www.cs.unc.edu/techreports/86-020.pdf . I think it is useful to re-consider Brooks's distinction between the essential complexity versus the accidental complexity of software development in light of the recent mania behind using LLMs for coding. Which of these types of complexity does LLM use address? Does it introduce more of either class of complexity?

In light of what I've seen, LLM use seems to provide the illusion of addressing both kinds of complexity in the short-term while it increases essential complexity in the long-term. It may or may not reduce some accidental complexity; the verdict is still out, as far as I can tell. Judging from the recent leak of the Claude Code front end source code, LLMs seem to introduce an enormous amount of new accidental complexity.

To the extent that LLMs are in the category of what Brooks calls automatic programming, this quote he shares from David Parnas is important:

Automatic programming always has been a euphemism for programming with a higher-level language than was presently available to the programmer.

The "higher-level language" LLMs trade in is English, which Dijkstra has strongly argued makes for a poor programming language. But even if, contra Dijkstra, it turns out LLMs somehow change that equation, we are still stuck with Brooks's argument that higher-level programming languages largely only address accidental complexity. They do not get at the essence of what makes creating software systems difficult.

Taken together, all this seems to suggest that LLM use in coding is a net negative, and if the above is to be believed it will result in worse outcomes, not better, over the long haul. Definitely re-read Brooks and see if you agree.

I realized that if I was writing a program and it didn't always work, I had a choice: I could either fix it, or call it AI.

Okay people, new instance, new #Introduction!
I'm Andre, a (mostly) backend software engineer and accessibility specialist from Ukraine living in Strasbourg, France.
I'm married and happy, we have two cats.
My main interests are #Technology, #Books, #Music, #Languages, #Accessibility.
I'm blind from birth, if it matters (it may, because I will ask for image descriptions if you send me images without alt text).
My operating system of choice is #Windows, my AI coding assistant is #ClaudeCode, my smart speaker assistant is #AmazonAlexa.
I use my phone far more seldom than 99% of you, preferring my laptop.
I love various kinds of music, especially renaissance and traditional folk music of most peoples of the world.
I'm Pagan, but I revere Jesus christ and his Mother Mary (it might sound complicated, so ask if interested, I'm open to such discussions), so Christians won't see any blasphemy in my posts.
I like talking politics also, but in our times it becomes tougher and tougher, as many people tend to take bold actions if you disagree with them politically. Long story short: I'm pro-Occidental, pro-American, pro-European, leaning right.
I'm in the beginning of develloping our small business (together with my wife, of course). We have some smaller pieces of software and libraries, also my wife has finished a hexalogy (six-book series) of fantasy novels, for now in Russian, but I hope we'll find ways to translate at least into English and French.
That was long already, so ask for more. Oh yeah, I'm a language nerd!
