I'd say 90% of the time I get as much value out of Claude on these discussions as I would if I knew one competent person for each of the subjects we discuss

90% of the time I get as much value out of Claude

In the thread “Going full AI engineer, not touching code anymore”, replying to this comment

Helped: Serving as a trusted senior engineer sounding board for discussions.

Got in the way: Adopted inappropriate 'corporate culture' thinking for specific security context.

… The experience was totally like arguing with someone on the corporate Slack, but in the end I control what gets deployed so I won. But I'd say 90% of the time I get as much value out of Claude on these discussions as I would if I knew one competent person for each of the subjects we discuss, and had called that person for advice. Of course even though my network is...vast...I just don't know a competent person in every single field.
