"We were still required to find some ways to use AI. The one corporate AI integration that was available to us was the Copilot plugin to Microsoft Teams. So everyone was required to use that at least once a week. The director of engineering checked our usage and nagged about it frequently in team meetings."

The managerial idiocy is astounding.

    "Prompt yourself with some bullshit so that it looks like you're doing something productive."

    Unless you know that guy working on both API management and the identity provider.

    If, hypothetically, someone came to that person with a problem like that, they might do it just for fun. Allegedly.
