   Got my performance review today.
   Positive feedback: literally every member of my team says I'm the best manager they have ever had. I solved multiple long-standing problems the team has been dealing with for years. Team members feel safe to share their struggles, everyone feels empowered, everyone receives valuable feedback.
   Negative feedback: I am not enthusiastic enough about AI.
   Overall ranking: 3/5.

   Anyone hiring for a fully remote team lead?

     Verify how?

     If you're required to burn tokens, burn tokens 🤷♀️

     If there may be spot checks, you can set it up so when you start to work on a ticket, you also send the code and the ticket to an agent, then don't look at its output (until after you've finished, if at all)

     Use AI to generate enthusiastic (fictional) reports about how you and your team use AI?

     @sabik Too easy to verify, I'm afraid. But I *have* been using it for low-value work, mostly anything to do with communicating with my manager :).

     Rich Felker repeated this.

     @fn0rd If I were someone who hired I would prefer people who are antienthusiastic about AI.

     And solve long-standing team problems, make people feel secure …
