Depends on how toxic the culture is in your workplace. This could have been an opportunity to "work" on another JIRA task showing 600% improvement over AI generated code.

I'll write that down for reference in case I do ever join an organization like that in the future, thanks.

600% improvement is worth what, 3 days of billable work if it lasts 5 minutes?

  • Series of such "improvements" could be fame and fortune in your team/group/vertical. In such places, the guy who toots the loudest wins the most.

    • So THAT's why large organizations want "AI".

      In such a place I should be a very loud advocate of LLMs, use them to generate 100% of my output for new tasks...

      ... and then "improve performance" by simply fixing all the obvious inefficiencies and brag about the 400% speedups.

      Hmm. Next step: instruct the "AI" to use bubblesort.
