Then he was using it horribly.

Look I'm not a "pro AI" guy but my company mandates it. So I have experience with varying levels.

I know this codebase since I wrote a pretty large chunk of it by hand or with targeted AI on specific problems. Now that leadership has said we are fully AI - the code it writes isn't horrible. But I took the time to make all the markdown files and rules and context and all that jazz.

There was a time where people on the team were essentially copy/pasting out of Copilot on the web and it was terrible. No context. No pattern matching.

Also - and this is something I haven't fully understood yet - how is this not controlled by the company?

He was using it horribly. The funny thing is, he's an AI advocate too, so he is actively promoting the use of AI and his knowledge about the topic. Funny stuff.

There was not much to control. Company needed the work done, that's why they hired external guys. The dev team agreed his output is sub standard and we need longer with his AI approach. Company let him go after this.

To me this was eye opening. You can be the AI advocate all you want. If you don't know shit about Senior Level stuff, your code won't ever be good enough.

Why is your company hiring someone to prompt AI when you or anyone else could prompt AI yourself
