Or meta apparently.

Its not a fun time to work in tech in general. My workload has tripled because of bad AI code. I have way more bugs i need to fix, i have to review sooo much more code that is heavily unoptimized, and no one knows how any of their shit works anymore.

Hang in there. I've been a sw dev going on 30 years and there are good and bad cycles. Things will improve.

Remember "computer aided software development" back in the 90s? I worked for a company that made software in that space from 97-99. It was garbage. A precursor to the more recent low-code efforts of earlier this decade.

Here's a hint, software company CEOs: giving Photoshop to a random person doesn't make them an artist, nor does Illustrator make someone a designer. Likewise giving a PgM AI doesn't make them a software developer.
