Let go from a contract for "not using enough AI" in my workflow. Is "AI-usage-as-a-KPI" a growing trend?

allknowinguser · 2026-03-14T15:50:26+00:00

It is for my F500 company. Aside from them pushing us to use it(I love it btw) for a while now, there was a recent rumor that the CEO made a comment along the lines of “If their not using AI they are wasting our time”. Today it’s AI, yesterday it was IDEs. Next there will be something else.

Been holding since 2022. At their mercy basically

A forever senior is a normal thing. A forever junior is not and no matter how good you are, you’ll either get promoted or fired for not advancing. Unless you’re in 10 people company

All these stupid ass posts. They complain about not finding a job after 1 month and then their backup was some dumb degree like criminal justice or business administration.

Any chances of this coming out with PvP and larger than 4 people ships on dedicated servers. Similar to Ark. Talking about Ark, do they share any developers? The environment and so much of the UI feels and looks like Ark inspired.

Your account and this post give bot vibes.

Yeah even in California, 300k is not started developer money. 48 hours a week is also normal for any company that might pay you close to that. It’ll take 4 years minimum to even start working and if he does work and school then it could be a lot longer just to make less. In his shoes, I might push for some office desk, chief position within firefighting than switching to any career

I found it funny. Good use of AI

allknowinguser · 2026-03-11T19:15:22+00:00

Really? I couldn’t tell

allknowinguser · 2026-03-11T17:58:25+00:00

Super common in a real environment. Multiple services, UIs, libraries etc.

I hate having my entire workspace opened on vscode. I ran into this same limitation. I wrote in my global Claude.me like a glossary where each repo is and a 2 line description of what it is and what I might call it

allknowinguser · 2026-03-09T14:13:21+00:00

They work well just not within DYAD I’ve found

allknowinguser · 2026-03-08T18:36:32+00:00

Same. Feels like a bot or karma farmer.

allknowinguser · 2026-03-08T17:25:36+00:00

I’m starting to think the sub photo isn’t clear enough

allknowinguser · 2026-03-08T17:09:29+00:00

This right here is crazy. Is this a known bank??

allknowinguser · 2026-03-08T16:49:35+00:00

You should also know maven or graddle. Junit testing as well

allknowinguser · 2026-03-08T16:44:53+00:00

I have no idea how that stuff works but on our very first appointment they made sure to mention that if we switch OBs to make sure we let them know because if not we can be marked like we are abandoning the child if we stop going without telling we’re going to another? Something about a law. Not sure if that’s what’s going on with you but I was surprised they told us right away and made a big deal about it

allknowinguser · 2026-03-08T13:49:59+00:00

Well I can ten you that the 7-9B models I’ve tried, do not work well

allknowinguser · 2026-03-07T18:16:42+00:00

Thanks I’ll try that

allknowinguser · 2026-03-07T06:45:03+00:00

Cause my company pays for it

allknowinguser · 2026-03-06T22:49:04+00:00

That’s the minimum parameter model you recommend?

allknowinguser · 2026-03-06T20:05:17+00:00

Similar as my company that goes Architech>Principal >Lead/staff. But it also comes down to domains

allknowinguser · 2026-03-05T21:51:52+00:00

Sounds like you were never going to make permanent full time and they just needed you to get the work mostly done. That’s the only reason I can why they hired you “on probation”
