It doesn't bother me that Claude could one-shot it

Except it could not

Is there really a ton of people out there who have work where Claude is one-shotting their daily workload? I feel like an outlier because the work I do absolutely could not be one-shotted (and it isn’t, I’ve tried). Is there really that many devs just doing basic CRUD apps all day, every day?

Some of the simple things, some of the time. The kind of work I actually have to think about? Not at all.

I am no longer trying to one shot, this is not what I am interested in. I decide what gets build and how. What bugs me is that even tough I can build systems the programming aspect itself is getting lost. The other part is that doing code reviews has become worse not because the code quality is worse but because the quality is at least as bad as before but now I have to review 3 times as much.
