  • My coworker starts almost every Teams message either with “Btw I had Claude do…” or “So Claude and I just…”. If I message him first, there’s a 75% chance the message I get back starts with “Hm, I just asked Claude about this, and…”.

    All his PR descriptions, commit messages, and comments are clearly “Claude”.

    I’m this close to start reviewing his PRs solely through Claude, and starting the review with “Here’s what Claude came up with in review:”.

    The only thing holding me back is that this would mean I’d have to use Claude. So… No.






  • So in highschool, I was one of those annoying kids that went “why do we have to learn how to analyze poems? We’re never gonna need this in real life” in English (well… German, but doesn’t matter) class.

    I’m deeply grateful for my teachers back then to patiently get me to do these things anyways, because there came a point in my life years later where I suddenly understood that those “useless” lessons and hours “wasted” analyzing Goethe and Borchert and Fitzgerald handed me the tools to understand media (and not just literature!) instead of just consuming it.

    I hope it’s clear how that relates to the screenshot. More than that though, I sometimes feel like the slew of shit media over the past decade is at least in part to blame on writers/studios/… now assuming people do in fact merely consume. But that’s a rant that’s completely off-topic here, so I’ll shut up now.
