Why senior developers never write "clever" code.
Clever code is hard to read.
Hard to debug.
Impossible to maintain.
Your goal isn't to look smart. It's to write simple, boring code that just works.

Friend: Why do developers use mechanical keyboards?
Me: A mechanical keyboard could help developers type more quickly and more accurately.
Friend: No. Developers use mechanical keyboards to *strongly* type their code.
Me: Get out.

After reading a lot of the Claude Code base that was leaked taught me two things
1. I have never been more reassured than I am now. Software Developers will be around for a long time.
2. Claude Code has a hidden command to hide that a contribution was made by a Claude employee

This feels like a helpful primer for understanding AI in general. It makes programmers more efficient on the front end because they can generate more code. But it makes them less efficient afterwards because it vastly increases the amount of time they spend tweaking and fixing bugs.

In Donkey Kong 64, the Giant Spider miniboss can only be fought once. Modifying the game to fight it a second time makes it unceremoniously explode. While this appears to be a glitch, examining the code reveals it was actually deliberately added for the developers' own amusement.
