Quote du jour: “‘Top-down mandates to use large language models are crazy,’ one employee told Wired.

@ramsey and nothing of value was lost

@ramsey holy toledo yes, i have never seen any other dev tool pushed by leadership to the people doing actual work as you have to use it, just figure out how to make it useful, or if it's not useful you're doing it wrong, or i'm noticing a skill-gap forming between people who use it and people who don't. it's borderline religious.

@ramsey literally, all three of those quotes in my post were real and directed at me.

@ello @ramsey these are the same companies that reward hard work with pizza parties and raffles of enough items they could have just given everyone in the department a 2k bonus instead. and probably 600 more a month instead of spending money on ai token credits.
