Tbf, it’s not really the IT grunts pouring their heart and soul into this trend. It’s more the top-level execs seeing more $$ in their pockets at EOQ/EOY bonus time by hiring fewer 6-figure employees and relying more on AI hallucinogenic LLMs, while the grunts dabble with it fight with the stupid piece of shit just so they can say “Yeah sure I used X AI program to help speed this up” appease these idiots who believe it’s their saving grace.

This is an interesting take, and one I hadn’t thought of before. We should definitely keep punching up, and maybe start punching out, too.
