  • Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

ew.

They’ll change their tune when a few of their new workflows go rogue and auto commit prs it shouldn’t and cause build issues.
We’ve had multiple instances of AI slop being automatically released to production without any human review, and some of our customers are very angry about broken workflows and downtime, and the execs are still all-in on it. Maybe the tune is changing to, “well, maybe we should have some guardrails”, but very slowly.

The incident above I mentioned was the final straw but I’ve slowly seen the enthusiasm for LLMs start to whittle away.

It’s still the shiny new toy that everyone must play with but we went from “drop your entire roadmap for AI” to “eh maybe we don’t scrap all UIs just yet”

I have a feeling it’s gonna drop more from there.
