> 2) My actual job also included non-coding work: Does this attempted solution even work at all? Is this solving the right problem? Even if it's a valid solution to the right problem, is it the best solution given the time constraints? Unfortunately, this won't be captured by the metrics, because its not easily observable or instrumentable. There will be relentless pressure to use AI and more and more and prove that it is adding value. It won't add value, but whats available to executives is to lower wages and employment. There will be 'success' stories by most VPs that they've been using AI and here is proof (low wages + employment) and trillions of lines of code. LOC has always been a useless metric, but nobody cares. > At least, I hope this "is a place where my experience is still useful"; I may just be telling myself a nice story, same as all the other people through history who have found themselves obsoleted when the automation came for them. I don't think there will be more automation (at least not in a productive, helpful way), but a lot more enshittification and success stories of AI. Nobody cares about consumer experience or who is actually using the product. Almost all CEOs/C-Suite/VPs are far removed from reality, they will do whatever is being hyped right now. Every Corp has had massive DEI initiatives in the previous administration and now anti-DEI in the current administration. Corps were doing blockchain nonsense and now they do AI.
