Employers in 2022: > No! Don't install that lodash thing without explicit approval from IT. Oh, you want a license for Charles Proxy? Gee, I dunno... we've got a budget to maintain. Employers in 2023: > No! You can't use ChatGPT at work – it's a security risk. Employers in 2024: > Okay, you can use Github Copilot I guess, but you'll have to endure boring corporate training on what you're allowed to do with it. Employers with dollar signs in their eyes in 2025: > We attended a seminar about vibe coding. Why aren't you dumbasses keeping up with the times? Use Claude Code for everything! Don't write any of your own code anymore. We don't even really care if you use yolo mode. Just review code and push 10x more features! Use unlimited tokens! Money printer go brrrrr. Employers in 2026: > You mean giving one or two companies full autonomous access to our workstations while stupifying our engineers wasn't a sound business plan? | ||

2025 taught me that my employer would replace me with a slave if they could get away with it. The confusing part to me is why these companies believed the "AGI" hype, I.E. that OpenAI or Claude's LLM is the ideal white collar slave. I suppose I can understand that the executive class resents labor enough to make irrational business decisions for the purpose of insulting the workers who design and operate their companies. That being said, the 2025 AI binge feels like a murder-suicide done by the executives of many of these companies. | ||
