Oh and by the way, just to reiterate. He asked copilot to fix an exception handler. Based on an exception he saw occur once in Splunk logs.

He saw an exception. And he decided to ask AI to fix any handlers that might catch that exception.

This is our future.

I love it. In this case it seems to be an extreme edge case so its unlikely to trip up anything due to rarity alone. This will create a feedback loop and embolden further similar behaviors. Inevitably some will be destructive because they have no comprehension (or care) of the implications.

My wife's factory update: Hasn't produced anything in 5 business days and the contractors are doubling down blaming the FTEs trying to fix it. But refusing to communicate so nobody can examine their work too closely.

The Pakistanis are gonna replace the Indians anyway. They already are in India. But uhh... how does that help us?

Any hiring manager who is actively helping dismantle the American workforce is a fucking Benedict Arnold
In an interview with a coworker and he's going on about how super excited he is to be hiring outside the US (nearshoring) because of muh diversity to the candidate. In my head I'm going fuck the both of them and I'd be firing my coworker, who is white, if I could.

I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people here but the higher up you go in responsibility the less coding you do. I don't do many commits. Most of my time is meetings, emails, chats, design.

My ex-boss finally recognized I am in the shit because I just cannot code.

His solution is that scrum will solve this. Everything will go to him as the PO and free me up.

He's non technical, doesn't know my product, and I am one of two engineers in the company that knows how it works.

I'm letting this play out for the hilarity .

By the way, this dude got demoted from manager to IC and I'm pretty sure he's fumbling trying to find a role in this company. If I were him I'd definitely be looking for a new job. It seems like his only role is being involved in scrum very loosely.
