I think the overall push, even when it doesn’t make sense is also stupid, but at least it’s tempered with a little logic to keep production a bit safer.

I get great joy from reading stories of AI in prod gone wrong.

as in, providing self hosted models? or running Claude code/Codex? or using it for support? or what?

the timed/automated hammer forging machine continues working regardless of whether or not an operator is at the helm. it will chop as many hands as you feed it.

we are at the point where a lot of value can be leveraged from AI by using it like a hand tool (a hammer), and in doing so one will avoid most of the chopped hands that a fully automatic factory has to offer.

Short term --- AI can generate code so let's fire those pesky, expensive developers.

Long term --- AI is terrible at maintaning the code it has generated. We need more human developers who can understand and fix this mess.
