Opposite policy at one of my clients (kind of). I am responsible for the code that upper management's Claude produces. Some Mondays, I will start work with a half dozen emails with attachments of Claude generated code for something I don't even know what the point is, with the task of "integrate this and make sure it works." without any context to go along with it, so I have to read the code, usually hundreds of lines and understand WHY manager wanted it, before I can start to code it myself, because it is 1) in the wrong language, 2) doesn't understand our codebase, 3) is using libraries we can't license, etc.

My job has been less watching Claude Code, and more watching Managers Claude Code.

I don't know which I hate more as a programmer.
