Our leader wrote himself a great prompt to fill up Tickets in jira with useless text too and our boss is happy like if he won the lottery. Now instead of ugly but short useful texts now i have yo read a fucking eassay!!!

Nah, you know how it works? You're not supposed to read it!

Encoding Process

One sentence in -> Several paragraphs out

You were supposed to feed it back into the lying machine to dustill the content from the vapor, not read it. You are not AI native worker and should be kicked out of the otherwise great performing team

Better than dealing with a PM though

Like look, your boss was happy, so the blockade away from your boss that your PM provides is solved

So just write an agent to summarize and read the room like the 200 EQ mastermind that it is, compared to your 0 EQ engineer brain, and move on

AI writing tickets, AI reading tickets, AI writing code from said tickets

only ones affected are middle management and site reliability engineers, poof we can write complex backend scripts too now

No you don't. Feed the essay to Claude and ask it to summarize it for you, or just use the Jira MCP and have Claude or codex take the ticket, use the GitHub MCP to get it the source, have it go work on the ticket, have it generate the code, generate some unit tests, then you go literally yell at your computer using Wispr Flow or some other transcription software to tell Claude how to fix the mess it made, and then you after you've cleaned it up, you submit the PR.

When ChatGPT first came out three years ago, we joked about Devin and having an AI coworker, but I was just given 5 tickets to work on before break, and damned if AI didn't take a well scoped ticket and just did it before I even finished reading that very tightly scoped ticket.

		While I personally find that generative AI has helped me be more productive and even boosted my ability to learn things, I really _dislike_ that we’ve normalized this behavior: Whether a Jira ticket, an email, a yearly review, we feed bullet points into a black box to get a bunch of fluffy text. On the other end, we feed the fluffy text into the black box to get bullet points. We’re killing penguins because we’re somehow afraid to just send the simplified bullet points to each other in the first place.
