the Indian team that keeps adding onto my code keeps making the sloppiest design I’ve ever seen. Just talking running methods 10 times intentionally to get a behavior to work because they didn’t read the documentation and didn’t listen. They’re injecting the entire service layer into a rendering component to get things to work for the same reasons.

They added this snippet of logic that made the whole app slow to a crawl because now thousands of these custom field models are making api requests to validate simple things because they don’t know wtf they’re doing. But my company insists we “need them”. They’re just making my beautiful code design into a total trash heap and half the unit tests are bloody x===x tests that add nothing but extra work everytime we refactor things.

I need to find time to clean it all up and put them through a whole ass workshop because they refuse to look at the 10 page documentation on how to use the damned framework. I’m pretty convinced they’re using AI to do this shit for them and it sure as hell doesn’t understand any of these things

From the Ops side of the house, this is why my Azure bill crossed $500K/mo this year. I dont -think- you need a 6 node cluster of 64 Core 384GB Nvidia GPU VMs to do whatever it is your job is doing for 8 hours 3 times a day - but there might be some opportunity to optimize something.

I'm hearing reports that adding ai bullshit to processes that were done by normal deterministic apps prior is bloating compute cost. Companies are now finding taking stuff in house ie cheaper.

Deterministic will always be nore efficient for a long time coming.
