*75% of code was written by people who were required to have an AI plug in installed.
Probably also having their usage tracked.
Also have had their work loads increased and their deadlines shortened.
And if they don’t hit the metrics and meet the shorter deadlines… they get fired.
I’m sure that’s a recipe for functional, well tested, efficient, and secure software. Definitely not creating a shit ton of technical debt.
And I guess engineers would be held responsible for the code produced by the AI agent's they're pressured to use.
So management can blame and fire more engineers when things go wrong.
Here, use this tool it makes you fast and it only costs you not understanding what you ship.
But when the tool screws up and breaks things we'll blame you and not the tool.
We must go fast so you must use this tool.
Chat, please fix everything in the technical debt pile. Make no mistakes.
