I'm starting to notice how those who don't use AI end up having to hand tasks over to people who can get them done quicker.

It is anecdotal for sure, but it's a pattern that seems to be emerging around me that expectations of velocity increases, and those who don't use AI can't keep up.

Why is velocity the overriding goal?

  • Shit processes. I don't know what places most of those people work at that crap is being merged into production at insane pace. You would expect any serious piece of software would be important enough to have the code be reviewed by at least one human.

    Kind of.... I don't know. To get placed such requirements from the top down and not fight back, just take it head on, not even maliciously, don't even oppose it on a technical basis, just be like "yeah, you've now gotta ship faster or you're left behind, so therefore LLMs must be the future!", no critical thought attached. Is this shit coming from experienced engineers?

    Preposterous we're relying on "it's better because I feel like", "dudes who don't use it are falling behind at work", "they ask for it in job interviews".
