It's assigning yourself the literal worst parts of the job - writing specs, docs, tests and reading someone else's code.

There's a real disconnect. I was talking to a junior developer and they were telling me how Claude is so much smarter than them and they feel inferior.

I couldn't relate. From my perspective as a senior, Claude is dumb as bricks. Though useful nonetheless.

I believe that if you're substantially below Claude's level then you just trust whatever it says. The only variables you control are how much money you spend, how much markdown you can produce, and how you arrange your agents.

But I don't understand how the juniors on HN have so much money to throw at this technology.
