Your boss can get Claude to make unreadable, noisy, confusing code just as well as you can.

There may not be a career left in software development with these monstrosities, but if there is, it's in using decades of experience to get the abominations to produce something other than unreadable dreck.

If the code itself truly doesn't matter any more, programmers will no longer be paid.

Oh, yeah, the amount of skill needed for programming is low these days, the people paying just haven't figured it out quite yet. There's still some needed, but it's closer to line cook than nuclear physicist.
