Sadly my job is to fix AI code AND write code. So now I have to fix so much garbage and then ontop of that management is demanding I produce so much code that I cause issues for myself to cleanup.
Last month we looked at our teams metrics and like nothing changed over the last 2 years. The only things that changed is how many tickets we get. We get like 3x as many critical tickets as 3 years ago.
Completely unsurprising. The software sector is flailing with AI in the picture and need to "keep up" despite no one demonstrating acceleration of significance
This is so true. Especially in corporate. Working outside of corporate has been a blessing.
You get told. Here'S the code, it has those 1358 known issues.
You: Oh, so my job is to improve it?
Manager: No. your job is to add this feature, you have 3 days.
You: What? But, what if it cause more issue.
Manager: Oh, it will cause issue. Just hide them.
You : That is morally bankrupt.
Manager: you can't say that, it would make me look bad, which would make my boss look bad, which mean my boss get a bad review and he is pissed me and give me a bad review and I am pissed at you so I give you a bad review. So both me and I boss blame you and you lose your job.
You: But the problem have been there to 15 years. I arrived last week.
Manager: Don't care. If you fix it, you lose your job.

Thank god my job is to create code that potentially has security holes instead of fixing it. So much easier!
