I think it's time to refresh the resume and start looking around at other options again. I just need to figure out if I want to continue with automation or if I should look to pivot to an actual dev role. Hmmm.

@swiftfoxfire wow, wild. It's been decent for us, but it took a lot of work to get there and we're constantly adjusting the guardrails.
Perhaps that stuff needs more adjustments, or perhaps the asks are too broad. We don't leave it to make any architecture decisions at all. We specify the design and it tends to stay within that.
Disclaimer: I hate that we have to use it, especially because on my team, dev speed has never been the bottleneck. I don't know that we've gained all that much by adding it, other than satisfying the PE firm that owns us.
@swiftfoxfire we're expected to use it at work, too. We've done a lot of documentation to establish guardrails when using it within our repo and it has helped yield more useful results. Has your team built anything out for that or are they just having you blindly throw things at AI?
@patterfloof @rawenwolf @soatok we have a monthly company meeting where they have people involuntarily give a 3 minute presentation about themselves. I'm not married. I have no kids or pets. I don't care to share any hobbies with the whole company. If I'm ever picked, part of me really wants to either show a blank presentation but talk as if I'm showing pictures, or just use obvious stock photos and make up a whole narrative. I'm not bold enough to pull something like that though.
@psyolus probably DRLs yeah. First time I drove my WRX at night I went most of the trip thinking I had my headlights on because I could see fine, but eventually realized it was just the DRLs.

Classic solution-in-search-of-a-problem situation here. Like, the company behind these can't actually be surprised, right?
And their statement makes zero sense. Like the vehicle owner definitely has physical access to the vehicle and plates. And somehow I don't think "it would be illegal" matters much when the whole purpose of jailbreaking it would be to evade the law...
@soatok I think for me, compliments have diminishing returns by source. Most recent one that stuck was from a senior dev on the team who I've barely interacted with, saying how much the automation I'm building has helped things on the project.
Ones that don't stick are too numerous to call out anything specific. But they're usually from people who I'm working more directly with and have given me compliments dozens of times by now. I start to have a feeling of "this is just me, and I'm just here doing my job".
@toomanyfoxes it's seasonally appropriate!
Seems like there's a black hole located inside the St Louis USPS distribution center.
