Management may eventually purge engineers that won’t adopt AI.

do you fear your reluctance to use this technology will impact your career when other software engineers will use it in their work?

no. because eventually what goes up, must come down.

I'm currently working on a team that is trying to unfuck some dumbasses slopware. so far been at it for about a year. it's going to be at least another year before it's unfucked.

while all this is happening management is pushing for AI to be used in daily operations, so the sty continues to grow and grow. at this rate I'll have a job cleaning up slopware for the rest of my life.

LLMs analyze ok, but are absolute shit at development. this is because LLMs cannot "think". there's zero cognitive abilities from an LLM. they just do what they've been told, full stop.
