I know you are joking but I'm sure that there is at least one director or VP inside GitHub pushing a new salvation project that must use AI to solve all the problems, when actually the most likely reason is engineers are drawing in tech debt.
- OtomotO 8mo agoBetter to replace management by AI. Computers can produce spreadsheets even better and they can warm the air around you even faster.
- chrisjj 8mo agoPlus they don't take stock options!
- mrweasel 8mo agoHonestly AI management would probably be better. "You're a competent manager, you're not allowed to break or circumvent workers right laws, you must comply with our CSR and HR policies, provide realistic estimates and deliver stable and reliable products to our customers." Then just watch half the tech sector break down, due to a lack of resources, or watch as profit is just cut in half.
- Sharlin 8mo agoI mean, the strengths of LLMs were always a much better match for the management than for technical work: * writing endless reports and executive summaries * pretending to know things that they don't * not complaining if you present their ideas as yours * sycophancy and fawning behavior towards superiors

- munk-a 8mo agoUpper management in Microsoft has been bragging about their high percentage of AI generated code lately - and in the meantime we've had several disastrous Windows 11 updates with the potential to brick your machine and a slew of outages at github. I'm sure it might be something else but it's clear part of their current technical approach is utterly broken.

- DerArzt 8mo agoI'm so confused by what they think using copilot to either find/build an emulator for a 50 year old machine that can run Basic demonstrates.

- LeifCarrotson 8mo agoUtterly broken - perhaps, but apparently that's not exclusive with being highly profitable, so why should they care?
- risyachka 8mo agoIt’s not a joke. This is funny because it is true.
