> I am 100% pretending that my professional artifacts came from genai tools. Jesus Christ, has it gotten that bad? I'm out of the loop since I use absolutely zero generative AI tools personally. That's a line I'd never even consider to cross. Dont just sell your work off as someone, or rather something, else's. Take pride in what you do.

And not just because you're letting the AI steal your credit, but also because it misinforms management about the value of AI. If they think the best work comes from AI, they might want more AI, but if it actually comes from human craftsmanship, they should be investing in that instead.

> Take pride in what you do. Hahah, that's great. This is 2025, man. Corporations abandoned the idea of letting people take pride in what they do long ago. Corporations have no room for slowpokes to take their time to do it correctly. There is only room for ramrod fuckheads who pump out code as fast as possible and then file 400 bugs on that same code after it's in production. And, yes, they knew of the problems when they pushed it to production. Everyone must move faster. Always. Faster tomorrow than today, without exception. The idea that people have the time to even imagine a day when they could CRAFT anything is long gone. Profits above all. Always. Speed, speed, speed. Always. You must always go faster. If you are not going faster then you are a liability.

> Dont just sell your work off as someone, or rather something, else's. Bosses pushing for AI don't care about that. They just need to be able to tell their bosses that "AI is improving productivity". It's a KPI that's landed on their desk from senior executives who live in a world of PowerBI dashboards, CEO "fireside chats" and McKinsey hype mongering.
