                  @phantasus closer to the first one
                  And not just the "don't use AI at all"
                  After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
                  I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

                  they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
                  instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me

                            just catching some timeline things that slipped by the past few days - sorry to hear about the layoff. This unemployment jungle is getting crowded ... 😩

                            Boosted ya on the TL, hope there's some fedi hiring traction!
