I think all these things are happening today, but with micro managers instead of ai. And to be honest: letting AI do the micromanagement would be an improvement in a lot of places.
The main problem I see here, is that management may use ai as an opportunity to push for more micro management. And if that happens, the consequences will be similar to regular non-ai micromanagement (e.g. higher perceived productivity, less actual productivity, developers leaving).
- anonzzzies 3y agoBut with programming (at least I haven't seen many programmer cases to the contrary, I have seen in other (gig) jobs) you can escalate to a human; this is going towards not being able to do that. So you have - remote workers - strict scoring (score <= 0 -> fired) - no human to contact So when you are stuck in a loop (like my other response to asking what I have seen in practice) and you cannot reach another human to resolve your issue, your score will sink (because you are not delivering) and you get fired. All automated, all LLM, no humans. It'll first happen in other professions (I know at least one multi national that does this with data entry people as a trial now), but programming won't be far behind.
