Sometimes real people also fuck up

Yeah like I’m a lot cooler on the AI hype than most but the articles argument is weak. This is the same shit people were saying when SO and Google were gaining traction. Surprisingly having one tool does not limit people from digging further into internals

For those like me that didn’t catch the reference it’s from a movie called “My Girl”

My last job did AI submitted PRs and they were the most obnoxious thing. They’d make broad changes and break shit and we were expected to merge them in because “AI”.

Amazon is doing the same thing.

It’s phrased as giving top tier employees ability to penetrate bands.

In practice you have to be rated Top Tier (which is assigned on a curve and only 5-10 percent of employees will hit) 3 years in a row. So if you have an off year or a new manager then you’re screwed. I’d wager that’s less than 1% of the company that’ll hit that.

For everyone else it was a 10% pay cut. Woo?

A German intern came to our american city and was flabbergasted that the trains here ran consistently.

I had a laugh since I always assumed it’d be the opposite.
