Using AI at Work
Well, the time finally came. My boss wants me to start using AI in my workflow. In anticipation I've been playing around with Claude Code the last couple of weeks. It's improved since the last time I tried it out.
Maybe that's why I'm feeling drawn to this handwriting...

@heyloura , I'm waiting, and dreading, for that to come to my work. I hope someone brings up plagiarism engines in a meeting so I can verbally kick them in the teeth.
@Mantisking yeah, I’m not thrilled. It’s coming from the director… so its either that or look for a new job.
@heyloura I would ask the director what he thinks AI will bring to you that you don’t have… he might not be able to answer the question…
@numericcitizen 😆 Next time I see him at the office I just might. He’s not all wrong though, I work solo and having a tool like Claude to scaffold and build out this project would speed it up. It just increases the amount of development work I’m not as fond of (spending forever writing out specs and very specific prompts, checking over the output and changed files, double checking that tests test what they should, minding context limits/usage and all that, catching it when it misbehaves/makes assumptions) versus the creative aspect that I enjoy.
@heyloura certainly, we’re about to see a major shift in how devs work and what we expect from them.
