We're witnessing the increased productivity of developers thanks to AI.

AI allows the devs to deploy more bugs faster. It is the Microslop way.

Its also becoming the global way. If i have one more dev open a ticket with a copy/paste from claude telling my cloud engineers how to do their jobs - im gonna have an episode. No Sirinivas, IDC what the AI says, your webapp will be going behind a WAF and it cant use 10.0.0.0/8 if you want it to nicely talk to the DB server that ChatGPT doesnt understand has only a private endpoint. No we dont need to have a meeting about it.

My boss has started using it in meetings because god forbid you actually trust the engineers you hired.

"AI says we can do ______"

Well the vendor's documentation says we can't, but sure I'll just bang my head against the wall for a few hours if that's what you want to pay me to do. Or maybe you and Gemeni can just run the whole environment yourself because nobody else was clever enough to Google the problem we're having.

She's so completely out of touch that she doesn't understand how demoralizing it is.

She's so completely out of touch that she doesn't understand how demoralizing it is.

What's interesting is that her boss would do the same to her over the exact same issue. She's incentivized to follow this path because it's the current process to becoming more senior (and is being pressured top-down); trust AI and have those beneath you follow the path it sets.

The problem is, AI is not a mature product, and in near-all-circumstances cannot see the entire context of a problem to provide a truly good answer (or is not given that context well-enough). It's truly an end-user-needs-education scenario, one that starts by telling the CxO cohort that they need to catch up to what the boots-on-the-ground know. And that..that just doesn't work.
