I’m tired of Claude Code. Not the tool. The way people use it.

Some are shipping at the speed of light. That part is real. What annoys me is shipping without strategy: throwing things at the wall and hoping something sticks. Very fast, in no particular direction.

The other thing is estimates. Since agents landed, I can’t count how many times I’ve heard “it’s easy, it’ll take 2 hours.” And it’s almost true. The code shows up in 4 hours: 2 hours of prompting, 2 hours of waiting.

But the feature isn’t the code. It’s the migration, the edge cases, the thing three teams away that breaks, the support tickets, the maintenance for the next 3 years. Agents made writing code cheap. They didn’t make any of the rest cheap.

Then there’s the volume. You ask for a simple feature and you get a full blown SaaS. Config options nobody asked for, an abstraction layer for the one case you actually have, a fallback for something that can’t happen. Code is cheap now, so nothing gets cut. But you still have to read all of it.

That’s the fatigue. It’s not just the volume of generated code, it’s the assumption that once the code exists, the work is done.

You still have to understand the system you’re changing. That hasn’t changed.
