I told my boss I wouldn't use AI to help write code and sign off on the commits with my name. He told me to use it to write the documentation... it was bad. Essential concepts were not mentioned and obvious shit was explained five times in slightly different phrasing. I am now writing our documentation as an obsidian vault myself again.
I only have it compile a change log from the commit messages of commits and merges on the main and development branch. I know our commits are well written (because I established the standards for them in our repo myself) and that's concrete and rigid enough that it can't fuck it up enough to matter.
But honestly there are build tools that could do that for me, I don't need to buy tokens for that.
Yes. This is where every "have you tried Agentic AI?" conservation lands, for me.
They tell me I could pay daily, for worse results, to give up the bash script that has worked perfectly for five years. Oh, gee. Tell me more! Haha.
