What the account says
Simon Willison published a quote from an anonymous engineer writing under the name voxium, who says that half a month into a new role at a big company, nobody knows anything and every artifact is made by Claude Code. voxium says nobody on the team likes this, that they are being forced to ship as much as they can, and that nobody is reading anything — with everyone from an L1 to an L7 engineer doing the same thing. This is one person's account, published as a quote; it is not a measured survey or an independent audit of the company. [1]

“It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code.”
