Management wants to go vroom vroom. Gambles that new models will be good enough to fix tech debt.

I do agree with you

It's also a gamble that you don't have to look at the underlying layers because it's "the new abstraction layer". Which is intellectually incredibly lazy.

They talk about astractions as if "requirements -> code" is the same as "Go -> ASM -> bytecode". Which is just utterly stupid. But downvotes tell me a different story haha.

I'm also management btw, and the two startups I am a CTO at all have clear buy-in from other C-levels that we can't just spam AI slop w/o reading it and hope for the best. But I do see that most probably don't see it.

  • Unfortunately here, one big team shipped a product that looks to be a big hit from early Analytics. So they expect every other team with other seniority to achieve same results.

    Wonder how it will age.

    I'm a bit shocked they don't care much about the strangle contract this introduces by being so dependant on external models.
