As a manager, I don’t give a rats ass if you use AI. If you’re performing on par with your peers and you know and own your stuff, you’re safe. Honestly, that last part is crucial and I’ve hd to remind some of my employees that using Claude is cool and all, but at the end of the day, you own it and I’m going to ask and assume you know it or we’re going to have a serious performance discussion. I can hire anyone to prompt Claude for me, what you bring to the table is what sets you apart.

As a manager, I want all my reports to be familiar with AI. I want them to know how to use it, how it will fail, but most importantly, how to recognize if something they’re working on has been touched by AI and what processes need to be followed if it has. Because the thing that’s worse than junior devs not knowing what their code does is when they slip it into production and someone attempting to make updates doesn’t realize the code doesn’t follow human logic and may not do what they think it does.

When I ask the younger devs at work about their code they often tell me what they asked Claude to do instead of telling me what their code does. It’s so frustrating.

Uhh the “performing on par with your peers” part is doing a lot of work here. It’s like saying, I don’t care if you’re doing speed at work, as long as you’re working as fast as everyone else. Except AI affects everyone on the planet, not just yourself.
