Pedro Tavares writes in ‘Writing Code Was Never The Bottleneck’ for ordep.dev

Tools like Claude can speed up initial implementation. Still, the result is often more code flowing through systems and more pressure on the people responsible for reviewing, integrating, and maintaining it.

This becomes especially clear when:

  • It’s unclear whether the author fully understands what they submitted.
  • The generated code introduces unfamiliar patterns or breaks established conventions.
  • Edge cases and unintended side effects aren’t obvious.

We end up in a situation where code is easier to produce but harder to verify, which doesn’t necessarily make teams move faster overall.
