At least in my work, this is sort of like asking "If you don't enjoy CI/CD or the cloud, why not do without it?" It's becoming integrated into every process at this point.
- retired 5mo agoAnd many employers now require you to code faster, which is only possible with AI tooling. They don't understand that coding faster isn't always better.
- gonzalohm 5mo agoHow is that enforced though? At any normal workplace they will ask you "how long is this going to take"?
- speff 5mo agoIt depends on the management. Mine asks that, but others within my company get "this is going to be done by [DATE]".
- gonzalohm 5mo agoAnd no one argues about unrealistic deadlines?

- speff 5mo agoOf course they do. Generally the end result from this is bad - reduced in scope, buggy, and/or unstable. But that's an issue with communication/expectations/management. It'll keep happening either because of politics or the fact that a sub-par deliverable still meets the needs of the overall organization. Until it doesn't.
- eudamoniac 5mo ago"How will you be leveraging AI for this task? Why can't the AI do it faster than that?" These managers literally believe, or are made to pretend, that AI is better than you and faster than you. Any argument to the contrary is a CLM.
- amanaplanacanal 5mo agoIs this related to what business your employer is in? In other words, is their business producing code, or is code written to support some other business? Or is this just everywhere now?
- retired 5mo agoEverywhere. Normally adding an extra endpoint to the REST API would take a sprint. Now PM expects you to do two. Only way to get that done is a lot of vibe-coding and delivering sub-par results.
- necovek 5mo agoI am amazed that anyone ever needed a "sprint" to "add an endpoint". It usually speaks to the approach you are taking, but I also believe sprint-based planning leads development teams to make work fit into it instead of needing natural time to do it. Let's remember that all of have probably built full systems over a weekend. What organizational dysfunction has led to us needing a sprint is what needs fixing.
