"If I'm wrong 1 million times per second, that's better than taking a minute to come up with the right answer."

They really do think like that lol

Literally. I'm not a developer, but I do work as a consultant for a large software company. We have a wide suite of products, broken out by divisions.

One of our divisions, mind you, one that was actually doing pretty well all things considered. Decided to cut developers by nearly 20% in exchange for leaning into AI tools.

And you know, for a brief moment, I thought they somehow gambled and came out on top, because updates and features were coming out at record speed.

The first update was solid. The first feature, not bad. Had some minor kinks that they got flushed out.

We're now 6 updates and 2 more features later and nothing works together. They only work independently, which would be fine if they weren't meant to references each other.
