   Spoke to a former colleague recently. Their employer monitors employee AI use and wants to see number go up.

   Since the obligatory AI nannying, multiple product teams have fallen apart and they’ve stopped delivering new features of value while users are leaving.

   A whole layer of middle management are destroying good products to make a Potemkin village of fake automation to justify their bosses buying crap enterprise software. It’s as if the entire industry had their heads kicked in by a donkey.

     @tommorris @thomasfuchs is there any other technology where the bosses want to see their bills go up? It’s not like they fire engineering teams if they don’t use AWS enough… quite the opposite in my experience, they’re usually trying to lower AWS bills

     “Management has noticed you’re not drinking enough coffee…”

     It’s a cargo cult
