i'm pivoting to AI (Artificial Incompetence)
in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.
so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.

@AmyZenunim Uggh. I had a manager who summarized our reports with ChatGPT, making extra work for us because we then had to review his summary for accuracy. I found hallucinated slop. I told him it was a waste of our time. He actually listened.

@AmyZenunim right there with you. CTO and COO have been pushing AI at my work place. The result? Merge requests with a dozen useless commits, and everyone barely has a clue what's what. But it's okay, we've got Claude reviewing the code that Claude produces, not sure about the result? Just keep running it over and over rather than actually looking at anything, wheeeeee...
Yeah, it sucks. There's no regard for quality.

@AmyZenunim I just heard almost the same story, just this morning, from a friend in Poland. He mentioned how his programming skills were atrophying because he's just an assistant for the AI.
Which makes me wonder: If you're coding all the time, how will you adequately review the AI code for errors?

@AmyZenunim I hear you and can empathise with this.
I just left a company where they required us to use AI, told us it's a requirement of the job and tracked our "lines of code" written by AI and general AI use as some sort of "productivity" and personal performance metric, which is often the opposite! I feel fortunate to have found a new role, at a new company, but not sure what's waiting for me there.
