    Its hilarious to me that before AI, I would suggest we refactor our code base to make it more readable and easier to understand and would get all the excuses. “Oh we don’t have the time”. " we could introduce bugs". “We would need to test that”

    Now when I mention to make the code easier for an LLM to understand, they’re chomping at the bit for it.

      Before AI, refactoring was expensive, high risk, unclear payoff.

      With AI, it’s cheap, higher risk, obvious payoff.

    This is true not just for AI, but also adding more engineers to a project that isn’t going well. No matter how many resources you throw at it, it will continue to be slowed down by the underlying problems with the team or company culture.

    definitely, I joined a company whose culture was toxic as hell. I didn’t regret leaving it

    Weird website.

    I agree with the statement though.

    But it would require employers to actually invest in their offices/workers. And possibly be more independent of whatever the shareholders dictate.

    Haha, imagine. A business model that includes selling a product, to customers.

        Why not both? Sell the products to the customers, then sell the customers to the other customers. It lets you double-dip for extra shareholder value!
