> AI has given a lot of completely incompetent people a false sense of competency

30+ years of experience writing large applications in C++ and TypeScript, including JIT compilers, commercial game engines, and business-critical systems used by international companies.

I love using Claude Code for the 90% of my work that is repetitive and boring. These are tasks I've done many times before. It does a great job as long as I guide it well and review every change before committing.

I find the negative tone of the article puzzling. AI is just a tool. Use it well and it makes you more productive. Use it badly and it causes problems.
