Claude Code nails developer experience. But as capabilities grow, so does complexity. The best tools disappear - they don't become things you have to manage.
Humorously, I started a new job about a year ago, and they still won’t give me SalesForce access, yet some of my job is integration. But, my 1up has no problem letting AI have full access to the API. 😤
The silver lining is I can say “gosh I don’t have access” to avoid working with SalesForce.
Guess I have been gifted with pretty reasonable 1ups, as far as the work part goes.
Problems mostly were with he 2ups and 3ups.
In a company that I had left before, to shift to only get work that could be WFH’d, a new policy came up in which people could not read documents in general, regardless of their origin.
So when I told the dev (the one who took my place) that they could find a document required to make a query, in some specific place on the local drive of a computer that I had set up, they said that it would be a problem.
And that was after me having setup doxygen and all related practices of adding comments to create documentation and set up a local server and CI/CD[1] to deploy the documentation on it.
My 1up Has been working by himself for the last 10 years, so he has trust issues and trouble working with differing code opinions. I would fight for more control, but honestly after 20 years in this industry, I’m perfectly fine doing only what is assigned to me.
I tell them I can’t and why. Put it back on their plate. Just make sure every communication is documented in text. If they fire me, unemployment is a great 6 month vacation. 😅
No to all of the above.

Except when they tell you to start using a new library, but you can’t read documentation.
And finish the feature within the day.
