If enough of these dipshits hit the ground running THAT hard. It actually will be a self correcting problem.

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.

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.

Recently switched from Teams to Slack and I'm finding there are features from Teams that I miss. Like up arrow to edit instead of up + E. Or meetings having dedicated chat for alerts slackers they're missing the meeting(Slack doesn't have formal meetings, so we're using Google Meet instead). Or Slack having (no?)poor integration with calendars so you can't check whether someone is busy or distracted before bombarding them with questions. Or members of chat channels not having their online status displayed by default. Or not having message read notification enabled by default(I'm torn on this one, just got used to it while acknowledging it's annoying too).
I don't know what to do with these feelings. Teams is supposed to be the worst!

It drives me crazy that no one seems to communicate or do proper research. We have two 'architects' building the API for a new middleware solution, and it’s clear they’re relying entirely on their outdated knowledge. They aren’t exploring newer technologies, patterns, or possibilities. These decisions impact two of our products, and it’s infuriating that they never reach out to the teams to say, 'Hey, this is what we’re planning to do,' to get feedback or ideas. Is this typical? I get that you don’t want too many cooks in the kitchen, but the complete lack of communication is incredibly frustrating.

Not typical for my company. We are a very docs heavy company. We would expect them to reach out to stakeholder teams early on in design process

AI application bullshit is a massive source of the time wasting. For any position we post we get at least 400 applications from Indians in India looking for H1B. Another few hundred from Indians in the US on H1B.
All of this for positions where H1B is not applicable. So the recruiters have to sort through all that bullshit. Today, if you are not applying through a direct recruiter contact you have very little chance of getting to the next round. Until the recruiting platforms like Greenhouse improve their bullshit AI features to filter through this.
This issue is before the glut of techworkers caught in the layoffs also looking for work. Seriously 700 total applications for any position posted right now. Minimum.
This phenomenon is worldwide. You can see employers in Russia complain about getting overwhelmed with Indian applicants for jobs in Russia. Seemingly all Western nations have this giong on right now. Hence the pajeet noticing rapidly growing.

Jeet noticing helped me land my current role. The previous Poos the had were so fucking terrible the entire department got broomed over it and they went out of their way to hire some experienced guys with proven track records. This was five years ago, but even then you needed a good contract house to get in. And since I do all the training on the team and a bunch of things went right under me, I get brought in on the hiring committees for everything in my department.
I have worked hard to filter out the poos (we do have two, including my direct boss, but neither are H1Bs and they dont let my boss hates his fellow poos because they prressure the fuck out of him to bring them in) because the poison of DEI has made anyone else incapable of pointing out the obvious. First few hires I was in on, I would dig into their resumes and basically get solid proof of outright lying on their resumes (no one else seems to want to check references or confirm education/employment history anymore), but now no one ever questions is. I attribute this to the dev team being dominated by Poos and they turn over so many people (mostly fired for not doing a fucking thing in basic roles) while our support arm has glowing metrics/reviews and near zero turnover in the last 2+ years. We have even been taking on some of that dev teams project work, despite it being out of our scope of responsibilities.
Our company is still having to cut costs due to the Covid shit, so they can't afford to play the Poo Games and win Poo Prizes. So they don't. The only direct impact I personally feel from the Poo Invasion is wages being depressed in the field.
Another Poo Trick, if you are not aware of it, is to post lucrative contract positions to non Poo workers. The reason they do this is to get people like myself to leave permanent positions for a contract job and open my role for more Poos. Added bonus is that those contract jobs never run for the full term (and often the compensation is based in completion bonuses) and involve training Poos at some jobsite they have infested. Its just another angle to invade the workplace and clear out citizens. And because everyone is working behind the scenes on the kickbacks, it goes on largely uncontested. They are pulling this shit all over, but its rampant in tech right now.
TLDR version, the Poos have got to be destroyed.

In my experience, Performance Improvement Plans are one of the most pointless tools corporate HR has ever leaned on. Across roughly a decade as management, I've only seen a single case where someone was actually taken off of a PIP and kept their job. In practice, they don't serve as a genuine path toward development or recovery. They're essentially just the first step toward termination, dressed up to look like "support."
What makes them even more frustrating is how much time and energy they waste. Managers are forced to go through the motions, employees are dragged through an often demoralizing process, and HR gets to check a box that makes them feel like they're doing something constructive. But the reality is simple: PIPs rarely, if ever, work as intended, and they exist more for bureaucratic cover/red-tape than for genuinely helping employees succeed.

They have a place if your role has specific stats and duties that can be objectively observed and corrected. In the call center period of my life I was on a PIP once or twice. Attendance a few times, which I corrected and the PIP went away. Still in telecomm 25 years later.
