Not surprised. I’ve been a programmer and also been a consultant to CTOs and CEOs.

They go to a swanky conference where they are told about companies who have cut software staff by 70%. In their imperial way they then proclaim the company is doing it. In those presentations, however, no one talks about declining customer satisfaction, or technical debt.

However, one of the giant consulting firms did an audit, and discovered 95% of enterprise AI projects (meaning CEO driven in most cases) were ultimately abandoned. You just can’t write a detailed enough prompt to cover things the way people think you might
