Is this a joke or is this serious. I can't really tell. Assuming that it's serious I don't believe this person actually understands the pile of slop that AI turns out in most cases. Getting AI to do anything, when you're not experienced, means it turns out the same over engineered Rube Goldberg nonsense that they seem to be complaining about. It doesn't know how to take a broad code base and optimize it or automatically refactor things for efficiency. It bolts on more slop and more tech debt in many cases if you're not watching it carefully.

Is it a handy tool, absolutely, but like any tool it depends on the craftsman. When you have scrum masters and project planners believing that they are craftsmen, well let's just say that it won't end up good in the long run.

Cool content, but why are you posting it on tons of threads?

Our CEO started re-posting this kind of stuff from various xitter influencers a few weeks ago. And now we're preparing for our first layoff.

It's too bad tech folks didn't believe in unions, because management can do whatever they want to workers, even if the consequences don't catch back up to them for some time. Ah, well. The beatings will continue until the hype cycle plays out (Klarna and Salesforce are early examples of enterprises putting forth they were using AI replacing workers, and then having to hire workers back, or start hiring again).
