Leaving aside the whole circle jerkular economics of AI, the pattern in tech companies has been:
- devs start using AI
- middle mgmt says cool but watch the security
- CEO says increase productivity, reduce labor!
- middle mgmt says but the cost, and competence..
- HR cuts 10% here, 15% there, finance says spreadsheet happy
- delivery suffers, quality suffers
- AI cost skyrockets
- middle mgmt says ayyy no bueno
- CEO still doesn't understand what AI is, says more more more
- some AI generated script deletes PROD
- there's no backup, no recovery
- costs are higher than ever, product is worth less than ever, and there's no 'company' because there's no team
Can we make the CEO role redundant already? 'One boss to rule them all' is the fastest way into the fires of mount doom. Stupid fucks...
Where are all those agile loraxes now? Why didn't we listen to them about sustainable operations?
