@Grady_Booch @claudeai I fear that it will have the effect of discouraging new developers to enter the market because they have such little value initially compared to a seasoned architect using AI effectively. What happens in 10 years?

Sat on @British_Airways ba107 to Dubai. Guy in fronts seat is broken and doesn’t stay up just keeps banging me. IFE is broken and doesn’t play. I’ll just sit here and twiddle my thumbs. Been silver for a long time think it’s time to fly with a different airline it’s shocking

So glad I subscribed to @paramountplus to watch the @Broncos play so I could refresh Google instead to keep up on the game. 🤬

@ThePolemikOne Thats wild. We go so far as to have a guide for people who have never been into a church:

It's amazing how many Orthodox churches don't have service times listed anywhere online.
Literally no mechanism for an inquirer to know what to do if they want to visit for the first time.
If Orthodoxy had a even a fraction of the digital skills as evangelical megachurches, we would have 10x more growth.

@DCTelford He didn't have control of it, and the fact it was ripped out validated it.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.
$30 per seat per month.
$1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation."
The board loved that phrase.
They approved it in eleven minutes.
No one asked what it would actually do.
Including me.
I told everyone it would "10x productivity."
That's not a real number.
But it sounds like one.
HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.
I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."
They stopped asking.
Three months later I checked the usage reports.
47 people had opened it.
12 had used it more than once.
One of them was me.
I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.
It took 45 seconds.
Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.
But I called it a "pilot success."
Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.
The CFO asked about ROI.
I showed him a graph.
The graph went up and to the right.
It measured "AI enablement."
I made that metric up.
He nodded approvingly.
We're "AI-enabled" now.
I don't know what that means.
But it's in our investor deck.
A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.
I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."
He asked what that meant.
I said "compliance."
He asked which compliance.
I said "all of them."
He looked skeptical.
I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."
He stopped asking questions.
Microsoft sent a case study team.
They wanted to feature us as a success story.
I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."
I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.
They didn't verify it.
They never do.
Now we're on Microsoft's website.
"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."
The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.
He got 3,000 likes.
He's never used Copilot.
None of the executives have.
We have an exemption.
"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."
I wrote that policy.
The licenses renew next month.
I'm requesting an expansion.
5,000 more seats.
We haven't used the first 4,000.
But this time we'll "drive adoption."
Adoption means mandatory training.
Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.
But completion will be tracked.
Completion is a metric.
Metrics go in dashboards.
Dashboards go in board presentations.
Board presentations get me promoted.
I'll be SVP by Q3.
I still don't know what Copilot does.
But I know what it's for.
It's for showing we're "investing in AI."
Investment means spending.
Spending means commitment.
Commitment means we're serious about the future.
The future is whatever I say it is.
As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@PressSec "Dang - they're on to us... we better tease them with a small payout so they like us again! The dumb ones will fall for it, and we'll go in Fox News to push the narative that other countries are paying for this!"

@andrewmccalip And why not just induce an artifical coma at birth and not have to deal with all the absurd complexity of the matrix, or (if for some reason that's absolutely necessary) just give everyone their own individual matrix (shadow copy obviously) so any aberent behaviors are one-offs?
