Yeah. Everyone sort of assumes that not having personally written the code means they can’t debug it.

When is the last time you had an on call blow up that was actually your code?

Not that I’m some savant of code writing — but for me, pretty much never. It’s always something I’ve never touched that blows up on my Saturday night when I’m on call. Turns out it doesn’t really change much if it’s Sam who wrote it … or Claude.

The problem is you lose abilities if stop writing code completely.

There is a difference between a lector and an author

"hey coworker, I know your team wrote this, can you help?" Except there is no coworker, just Claude

Do you know what on call means?

It means Sam is 7 beers deep on Saturday night since you’re the one on call. He’s not responding to your slack messages.

Claude actually is there though, so that’s kind of nice.

"Yeah our team wrote it but everyone who built that part of it has moved to different teams or companies since."
