That is fun though. I hated the old world where some boomer-mentality "senior" dev(s) would take days or weeks to deliver ONE fucking thing, and it would still have bugs and issues. I like the new world where individuals can move fast and ship, and if there are bugs and issues they can be resolved quickly. The boomer-mentality and other mids get fired which is awesome, and orgs become way leaner. Just because there are excess of CS majors and programmers doesn't mean we need to make benches that they can keep warm.

That has more to do with where you work than AI. Some places have military grade paperwork where mistakes are measured in millions of dollars per min. Others places are 'just push it in fix it later'. AI is not going to change that. That is a people problem. Not something you can automate away. But you can fire your way out of it.

  For sure. I was replying to people not in that, it seems from the commenters here that is where they (and me) have worked or are working now. Whether it is their own company or some other place. I've only ever worked at places that are at the bleeding edge and even there we had total slackers.

    That’s totally orthogonal to what the OP is responding to though. Military software can be bleeding edge as well as extremely susceptible to error prone code which means you need to test more. Similar are the cases with financial softwares which are usually written in ocaml etc. observing your ability to comprehend, the places where you work must be “bleeding” profusely.

Are you begrudged manager or enthusiastic youngster who is upset that “boomers” are not killing themselves by juggling thousands of tasks ADHD-style?
