I could care less about bot sitting (haven’t we always written our own automation?), but it’s botsitting the unverified slop that people send you that fuels frustration. I thought I worked with competent people who respected me

Our product lead/manager recently sent me an AI generated PRD (complete with a Claude Code spec!) to build a core feature which we have had for over 2 years (and is a highly used core feature by our customers).

I just can't imagine tanking my trust with my coworkers by doing something like that.

So we're now in this world where everyone is instantly 10x more productive at turning their thoughts into code. Now, think about the coworkers you've had that are middling to mediocre. Do you want them to have a tool that makes them 10x more productive?

That's what I wonder about, what happens to all those folks.

		In the worst case it’s an even greater “productivity” boost for those mediocre folks, as they will also undoubtedly be less critical of its output.

Maybe this is the AI layoff wave we'll see. Sorting out incompetent team members.

It's not a lack of respect for you; it's a lack of respect for the work itself. That lack is being rewarded and encouraged.

Managers will be sure to tell you how much they respect you. Ask them if they respect the work and you'll get a blank stare.

Your coworkers haven't changed. What changed is that people can hand off work they never had to think through themselves. So you don't know what they checked and you don't know what you need to. You just have to read the whole thing.
