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 My employer is starting in that direction. I've told my boss that I will use generative AI "for every task where it seems like a good idea" and that I'm happy to include that in my goals and performance review. He understands what that means. :-)

If they actually *require* me to use it, I'll just submit straight-up vibe-coded crap. No one will die if our software fucks up. But I'm also not going to be on the pager rotation any more, that's for sure.
