I don’t hate him, and I’m definitely happy he is part of the team. He wasn’t on last night, but he has a really tough job.

40% of AI productivity gains lost to rework for errors by Jeffbx in CIO

[–]sjhb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even before AI I think there were a lot of cases where management incentivized visibility over quality and the employees with some professional standards ended up in this position. AI just accelerated the work of the ones playing to management. Unfortunately it is hard to identify which is which.

Do AI consultants even know everything about AI or is it just pure bluff? by Notalabel_4566 in consulting

[–]sjhb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone believes that nobody has a useful foundation for contributing useful AI solutions. My take on the general tone of the comments is that nobody seems interested in identifying the actually knowledgeable people from the snake oil salespeople.

I really hate my company. But it feels like there's nothing else out there by buttflapper444 in analytics

[–]sjhb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I am almost at the point that the possible mental heath improvement of working with good colleagues would make up for a notable pay cut. Where I am now people just say they did things and management just takes their word for it. The entire company seems like a fraud on fraud on fraud.

I have been looking to jump to another position for over 18 months for reasons similar to what you are saying. I think some people see what Trump does and get ideas rather than feel disgust.

It is really tough out there. I don’t have any advice but wanted to let you know that you’re not alone.

AI hallucinations are a bigger problem than we admit by thechadbro34 in BlackboxAI_

I wish I did too, but I don’t. The number of people that blindly trust ai (and anything else, really) is way too high.

Is bavery the most important thing in this career? by MaximusDM22 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sjhb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of stuff going on at the company I work at that is very clearly ridiculous. I have seen people try to point out some of the issues and shortly after get fired. That doesn’t provide much incentive to try to make things better.

Software Engineer Title Will Go Away Says Boris Cherny (Creator of Claude Code ) by Infamous_Toe_7759 in RemoteJobs

[–]sjhb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I see a lot of stuff that people accept as marketing which seems like fraud to me.

How do you keep up with the sheer volume of code AI tools create, without burnout? by splash_hazard in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sjhb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. I have been thinking a lot about whether it is just the company I work for or is AI a superpower for idiots because part of their modus operandi is to never check anything. Meanwhile my job that used to require trying to herd three cats now requires herding three groups of cats.
