I had a meeting with my boss today about my AI usage. I said I tried using Claude 4.5, and I was ultimately unimpressed with the results, the code was heavy and inflexible. He assured me Claude 4.6 would solve that problem. I pointed out that I am already writing software faster than the rest of the team can review because we are short staffed. He suggested I use Claude to review my MRs.

    One big problem with management is their inability to listen. Folks say shit over and over but management seems deaf because we're not people to be listened to. We're the help. And management acts like they know better.

    next time, tell your boss that Claude should replace him, not you.

    It's not like MIT and the Harvard business review have published studies that have shown that AI is actually best suited to replacing executives and management in order to flatten organizations. But unfortunately, management and executives make the decisions on who AI replaces, and they don't want to be replaced. Hell at the company I'm at right now they've been axing low level workers and bringing on or promoting the ladder climbers (read: AI sycophants who do the least work) to manager or department head roles, saying that us grunts can "10x" to fill the gaps, and that all we need is good and creative leadership to direct our AI use. I could go off on things this business is doing to shoot itself in the foot for hours, even without mentioning AI

    The trick is to tell them you've been using it more than they have and that it's not as good as chatGPT for task A, but that for task B claude does okay 25% of the time so we'll need to 4x the timeline in order to get a good claude output based on that expected value.

    But not as good as your personal local LLM that you've been training on company data. No one else can use it because it's illegal to clone. (your personal local LLM is your brain)

    What software are you writing? I'm struggling to see what any of this does, and for who. We could set all these AI computers on fire and what would it change? We have water, food, electricity, clothes, homes, cars, etc Oh we have AI Becky videos!
