Developer complains: AI coding generates more code, more work, worse results
hbouammar · x · 2026-08-25
A developer questions the effectiveness of AI coding tools. He says that using Claude and Codex, he and others generate more code, work longer hours, spend more, yet results are worse, with half-baked code, many errors, and many issues. He believes AI coding hasn't improved efficiency but made things worse, and doubts the claim that Claude will replace software engineers, calling it a delusion.
