Just complete the AI slop trough and copy and paste the ticket back into Claude to fix and open an MR and then have Claude review it and merge and then when there is a bug repeat the process.

I honestly don't know what people are thinking, both employees and employers when people start copy pasting LLM shit. Why do I need you if all you are is a glorified macro? I strongly suspect the human is there to be the fall guy when the LLM invariably does something really stupid.

Tom still used AI — and that's fine. Encouraged, even ... This is kinda only half serious. AI is great — use it all day. Just don't be a pipe. 🥩

That site is still promoting AI. So close, so damn close

Even worse is, many such "rational" use of AI often involves more AI usage than just posting slop.

Imagine all the recursive meat proxies we have in the industry right now, like an infinite redirect loop with MITM to do the networking.

This has a term, actually! “Accountability sink”.

Yes, like a heatsink in a computer, your job is to soak up all the damaging and unwanted aspects of what the “real” and “valuable” main components decide to do, so that consequences never reach any decision-makers.

Fun!

Decision makers are often set up as the "fall guy", but the consequences are getting a huge severance package and an even more lucrative c-suite position at another company.

Honestly, until recently the PotUS was a fall guy for most of congress's shit
