One problem is managing expectations from non-technical people. You can ship faster but you are also producing tech debt at that same faster rate, and possibly even faster as the gaps in your initial implementation/prompts are filled by Claude deciding to do random shit.

In most orgs, there is also a gap between leadership, even tech leadership and people actually using LLMs every day. And it is challenging for actual devs who are being told that they should be going much faster and the reality which is more mixed. Pushing back on people who are convinced that Claude is God is going to be tough if you are a junior.

I don't feel the job has really changed, I don't write code as much but that time goes into working out the structure...which is what I was doing anyway. But it has changed the general environment, how work is planned, expectations, etc.
