Original Text

Internally transferred to a new team in a top-10 F500 company. This team is pushing incredibly hard to be seen as "AI-First" & is very opinionated about what other teams should be doing.

I was explicitly told I am not to write any code by hand. Claude usage is mandatory coupled with a proprietary superpowers / speckit / GSD framework with 100+ agents and skill files.

All code reviews are agent driven. No one takes the time to actually understand anything. Documentation has become novel length slop, as have Jira tickets.

I ship stuff I don't understand. Management says there won't be a need for many SWEs in the future.

Am I alone in experiencing this? Is this the future of work?
