Ask HN: Has your upper management been one-shotted by AI hype?

4•asdev•1h ago
Seeing a lot of shocking things where upper management, from engineering managers and above who haven't written code or actually built things in years get completely swallowed by AI hype in a bad way.

Some examples:

Engineer says there's a problem or something won't work, and manager+ role uses Cursor to double check there work and proposes some slop solution that AI comes up with. This wastes engineers time by having to sift through this for no reason. It also erodes trust that engineers feel from higher ups, who convey that they who haven't coded + Cursor can do a better job than people coding in the trenches day in and day out.

Other example, engineers say they need a few days to dig into an old codebase/repo to understand some things. Higher up says you can just use Cursor and understand it in an hour(which is never the case since LLMs have no tribal/business context on things).

Wondering if others have seen or experienced the same thing. I think this would make for really bad engineering cultures for teams
