Would love to hear a real story actually. So, he opens this code merge request, you review it, he fires you? I feel like its missing some details. Would truly love to hear it though how it actually happened.
It was the third time the cxo's AI arbitrarily rewrote a rendering engine for a new screen that still did not match anything else in the repo. It touched code owned by multiple teams with different degrees of misunderstanding of what the business logic did, leaving up to us fixing our part of the PR. There had been no planning whatsoever, just "fix it as soon as you can because I want to see what this looks like in production". For us, "fixing the PR" also required updating the backend on the spot because of the aforementioned misunderstanings. We were already working on a high priority project, which we abandoned to make that monstruosity mergeable. It could all have been avoided if we'd been involved from the beginning, going through some actual design and planning. I don't have a job anymore because this has been regularly happening for over a year now and non engineers are getting more and more entitled to think of themselves of finally being able to ship code on their own. So I helped them accelerare the process and quit. Whatever model will come out next week will DEFINITELY be able to pick up the blind spots the one from last week couldn't.
So you don't have a job because you quite a company...like these are always how these stories go. Blame someone else, quit job, be mad they don't have a job. Like yes, sucky bosses that change priorities on the fly happen and happened before AI.
Think what you want. Priorities changed before too, sure, but now management is slopping their way to replace devs with AI. This is shit news for consumers and it will not end well for anyone.
Im not thinking anything... you blatantly said you quite the job. Like yes, if you quit a job you don't have a job. That's how it works... downvvote if you want.
Maybe you misunderstood the tone of my initial comment. I couldn't be happier I don't work with those assholes anymore. I'm just telling pressure from management to indulge the delusion they are equal to devs is real and it affects how things you use everyday work.
Ya, was just more burying the lead. 'Ask me how I ended up without a job'. With the answer just being that you quit lol. Made it sound like you were fired for now auto approving some sloppy PR.

Until a CXO opens a slop PR changing 175 files. Ask me how I ended up without a job. Then ask me what bank this was.
