   It doesn't help that this is being forced from above. I agree you can't turn off your brain, but any time I argue that AI isn't the right tool for something management gets angry. There is a constant push to fully automate things, regardless of what those things are.

   Even if I agree that you have to use your brain, when my boss is literally telling me to stop questioning whether AI automation is the right answer in team meetings/chats I'm just going to shut up and give them what they want.

      Same. My team lead sits near me. He keeps checking if I'm using claude, or when we talk he pushes me to use claude.

      It's have gotten to the point that I wanted to work on something manually, so I booked a room in the office. Just to not be at my desk, because I'm afraid my claude usage will be reflected in my performance review.

         If the only metrics your managers have on your Claude usage is visual inspection/conversational, I think you'll be ok...

            I don't know how they eval me. Maybe they eval usage and maybe they don't. I just know I feel uncomfortable to sit next to him sometimes
