@cstross JFC.

Last night, I was working on a high-priority incident at work, and my boss produced a script to do some of the work. About 10 minutes into trying to make this thing work:

Me: "This method call doesn't have that parameter at all. Was this generated by AI?"
Him: "Yes"
Me: "Fuck that, then. I'm rewriting every line of this using the documentation."

He still thinks it's a good idea.

@darkling @cstross Sounds like he just volunteered to make it work. See who finishes first.

@ergative @cstross You don't think I'd give him write access to that infrastructure, do you?

@darkling @cstross Think, no. Feared, yes. Bosses have a way of getting access to things. I'm glad yours doesn't.
