“People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter.”
voxium @vOxium X.com I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens. 11:17 PM • 9/19/26 • 1.4M Views

just seen this tweet now - the biggest thing from my point of view, not even being an adult yet, is the mental friction that i feel exists for learning to code by hand.

i see it in the people in my CS class at school too, people have some version of AI helping them do their work.

Seventeen-year-old Zamora Rettim has always known she was destined to die young. She’s been training her entire life to compete in the Voxium — the magical contest held every by three countries to determine a victor in their centuries long war. Zamora is proficient enough in hand-to-hand combat, but she knows it’s not enough to save her life. Because Zamora doesn’t possess an ounce of magic. Once she arrives at the Voxium, however, she finds that it’s not at all what she was lead to believe that it was. There is no contest — magical or otherwise — just a smarmy lord who holds all of their fates in his hands. As she tries to uncover the secrets of the Voxium, Zamora begins to make friends — including Maddox LaCrath, the prince of one of the neighboring kingdoms. Soon, Zamora and her friends learn that there’s a bigger threat on their lives than the Voxium and its host. They set out, intent to destroy it, but how can they when the threat is none other than one of the war kings…and Maddox’s older brother?

employees are now pressured to ship products as fast as possible, leaving them with little time to review Claude's output or understand the code being created.

This is pretty impressive noise reduction. Doesn't resynthesize audio via AI which is a bonus (looking at you, Adobe Audio Cleaner), but it's Mac-only for now 4lo-digital.com/product/voxi...

It's definitely on my list for my next project that might need this.

Engenheiro avisa que Claude Code transformou a programação numa rotina esgotante de 13 horas
A expansão rápida da inteligência artificial está a redefinir o desenvolvimento de software, mas não de forma positiva para todos os profissionais. Segundo avançou o TechSpot, um engenheiro de software identificado como "voxium" alertou que as ferramentas de assistência transformaram o seu trabalho

Voxium via Simon Willison: at their new big-co job, Claude Code writes the specs, code, tests, tickets. Engineers L1-L7 work 12-13h days 'just to press enter.' When code is cheap, review becomes the bottleneck.
