The real wild shit I'm seeing and having trouble reconciling with continuing my career in this field is that there seems to be a majority contingent of C-suite out there that is absolutely obsessed with force-feeding their organizations AI.

As an software engineer, I will readily admit that LLMs have greatly increased my output - especially on the menial work.

But now we have leadership telling everyone to "use moar AI" on everything, everywhere. I literally have observed folks dropping into incident Slack chats saying things like, "hey all - i asked Claude about this issue and then i had it write a solution. here's the PR." This feels like the kind of thing that should be a fire-able offense, but instead they're getting shout-outs from the CEO.

Hell, the next time I go on vacation, I think I could put Claude Code on YOLO mode for 2 weeks and I'd probably come back to find I'd been promoted.

I do not know how this is going to end, but I have a feeling it's going to get way darker before it gets better.
