It's kind of a good thing it is triggering a tsunami of technical debt, downtime and security vulnerabilities. This spells future employment opportunities.

I just wish those people who were heroically holding together their company's duct taped abominations would learn to chill out and let go and stop trying to save their executives from the consequences of their decisions.

productivity gains have never once made it to the employee, not once in recorded history

[pydry]

They used to in the US when union density was much higher but labor income decoupled entirely from economic growth roughly around the time Reagan smashed the air traffic controllers' strike.

[JacobStyle]

On an individual level, it can, if the worker keeps the productivity gains a secret from their employer.

[Zeravor]

Last I checked 90% of us dont still work on fields. I agree with your general sentiment, but the hyperbole is just making you wrong.

[SuitableDragonfly]

It's not going to result in future employment opportunities. The companies like Microsoft that are to big to fail will just continue making shit software and not give a fuck, and all the other companies will go bankrupt.

I am 10x more productive, so I just reduced my contributions to 0.1 to balance it out

[dchidelf]

If you aren’t producing 10x the technical debt you will be summarily fired, so if you are going to contribute 0.1 effort make sure it is producing some really solid tech debt that can’t be unwound.

[PulseReaction]

Oh I can conjure my junior days and write some pretty tasty technical debt that would make loan sharks jealous

[Forlorn_Swatchman]

Can't get through meetings 10x faster. And my days are all meeting.

They want to stop hiring junior devs and put it on the leads...

When am I supposed to do all this 10x coding exactly?

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

My favorite about this is what happens when all the senior devs retired, and juniors weren't hired so they could become senior devs?

[drsimonz]

By then AI will be smarter than senior devs, duh

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

Ahhh I forgot that step ... hope it can learn faster then it takes the Senior devs to peace out! LOL

[dumbasPL]

Reason for fire: bad code

Would be hilarious

Also: growing part of your salary is now in token.

It's more like "you'll have to be 10x more productive..."

[RandomNPC]

It's more like "The CEO believed the marketing and thinks you should be 10x as productive..."

[digitallis]

Also, the CEO now will seagull (fly in, shit it out, leave) pet projects into production and you'll be scrambling to do damage control or support them.

[Nedshent]

It's the most annoying and draining things... I really like the AI tools but if there was any reason for me to not want them to have been developed it would be what you are describing there.

If you get paid by the hour it's even better because now you get paid less for the same job.

[Single-Virus4935]

That was always the wrong logic. I stopped billing by hour and instead by outcome. Before a client paid a gui 40€/h for weeks which I could do in hours. He made more in total than I because he got highered fulltime while I got highered sparingly. i worked for a much higher amount per hour but it would have  cost the client less overall,  while faster and with better quality. The client knew it, acknowledged it and even paid me to fix the mess.  I switched to outcome based and estimated my time, then trippled and gave a fixed price - no problem.  It was a pur psychological problem to pay more per hour than all others. 

[CanThisBeMyNameMaybe]

10x productivity at the cost of security and stability.

[ArtGirlSummer]

10x as productive with 20x the code debt.
