As tools like Claude Code gain traction, developers are quickly learning to hand off coding tasks. At Anthropic's Code with Claude event in London, attendees revealed that many were already relying heavily on the tool for their pull requests—without even reading them. This shift is being hailed as a new era of software development, but concerns over security and oversight are mounting.

Lots of companies, including Spotify and Delivery Hero, are embracing Claude Code to streamline their teams. But online forums like Reddit and Hacker News are raising alarm bells. Coders worry that AI is merely adding more work than it’s saving, and some claim their skills are suffering as they hand off more tasks.

Anthropic insists that best practices still apply. However, the allure of automation can be difficult to resist. Technical managers at Anthropic admit being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of code their teams now produce. As AI tools like Claude Code become even better, the temptation to delegate more will only grow stronger.

Ultimately, whether this change is a boon or a burden remains to be seen. For now, it looks like we're in for a bumpy ride with our coding partners.
