I honestly can’t believe there are software engineers who think they can just completely ignore this technology and stay relevant.
I’m not an AI bro, I’m not happy with the direction the industry is heading. But saying this technology is useless and refusing to touch it has got to be some kind of coping mechanism. I, for one, intend to adapt and learn how to use the new tools to my advantage.
If the hype is real, then there will be nothing to catch up to. All the ”secret techniques” will quickly be irrelevant as the technology is streamlined. Writing CLAUDE or SKILL files manually will be a thing of the past. It will figure it out itself.
Honestly “prompt engineering” is already mostly dead, and in most cases claude already handles its long term memory (claude.md, skills etc…) autonomously. You just have to nudge it here and there to document such and such details you know are important but it’s marginal.
I’ve seen what happens when people use AI to handle anything other than trivial tasks. Calling it useless would be an understatement. It touched code it had no business touching and tacked its own dollar store code onto the end of what it should have been modifying.

A very wise man once told me that you will adopt things naturally. Technology that will stick does not need to convince you.
When you need to be “convinced” it is not adequately thought through.
