Mr. Crab - Sysadmin from Heck

Fun fact: Most CEO's don't give a shit about your opinions on #AI.

Some vendor sold them AI slop over a round of golf and a three martini lunch and now it's your problem.

Push back too hard and you're on the bread line and potentially blacklisted.

What a shit time to be alive.

@CrabbyIT Yes, and also when AI does not deliver as promised it's still going to be your fault.

Day job leadership has already referenced the Block layoffs, with an explicit "if you aren't already 10x-ing your productivity with AI...".

So I'm looking for a better job, but on LinkedIn it's all slop and promptfondling, and Indeed is incoherent and thinks what I really want is a hybrid job halfway across the country.

@CrabbyIT And when you do try to use AI tools, it takes you longer to get the work done to a solid quality level. And then you're bitched at EITHER because you aren't able to produce as much work, OR because the quality slipped.

The new saying is

You can have it done quickly, done correctly, or done by AI.

@CrabbyIT Literally how we got stuck with Informix over Postgress for the DB way back. Because had to suck up to IBM who went back on their word anyhow, but us engineers still had to deal with the technical consequences.

A very early lesson in my career.

Uh, no.

Sailboats are called a hole in the water surrounded by fibreglass into which you pour money.

AI is hole in the parched dry cropless farmfeild into which you pour billions, but the hole "likes it" with emojis.

AI is a du-uh dead end that has cost every company wasting money on it.

Wasted time, wasted staff, wasted employees, wasted resources. And no avenue to income.

@CrabbyIT AI is reducing the number of people working, while the expectations for those still having a job are skyrocketing. There is no time for proper review of anything now, while constantly being directed to more AI tools that produce slop in text, image, and code.
