it’s a tech culture war, devs are gaslighting the business sucking down incredible salaries while reporting that the jira ticket is delayed by tech debt, the business is gaslighting the devs with the inept technology leadership, stupid HR games (my wife’s workplace dragged everybody in for fucking friendship bracelet day), secret DEI policies while paying high performers the same as negative performers because they can’t tell the difference.
These two groups hate each other and AI promises holy grail to both parties - devs can more easily learn the 1000th tech stack in between yoga classes while pretending to work, the business dreams of finally firing all the devs and keeping all that money for themselves. And neither group has a clue how this dream will be fulfilled, but they want to believe because computers can now talk, so enter the entrepreneurs and VCs to gaslight everyone involved with fake stories of how 35% of LOC at Google was coded by AI (erm, accepted IDE autocomplete), laughing all the way to the bank while they vacuum up all that dumb money, poor befuddled executives that roleplayed their way into an 8 figure budget responsibility by being tall white men with blue eyes
