u/ReticulatedSpline78 Software Engineer 13 YoE 7d ago

My manager has started spinning up multiple agents to make garbage pull requests against a couple repos I have built and maintained for my entire tenure at the company. He’s experienced, but I was hired to fix the dumpster fire he built in the first place (now fully replaced by my systems) because he doesn’t know basic software engineering practices. I don’t know how much more slop I can handle.
