i'm pivoting to AI (Artificial Incompetence)

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.

so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.

@AmyZenunim I hear you and can empathise with this.

I just left a company where they required us to use AI, told us it's a requirement of the job and tracked our "lines of code" written by AI and general AI use as some sort of "productivity" and personal performance metric, which is often the opposite! I feel fortunate to have found a new role, at a new company, but not sure what's waiting for me there.
