    Tbf, it’s not really the IT grunts pouring their heart and soul into this trend. It’s more the top-level execs seeing more $$ in their pockets at EOQ/EOY bonus time by hiring fewer 6-figure employees and relying more on AI hallucinogenic LLMs, while the grunts dabble with it fight with the stupid piece of shit just so they can say “Yeah sure I used X AI program to help speed this up” appease these idiots who believe it’s their saving grace.

    Source: Am dev/grunt dealing with said idiots. Opinion likely biased, take with grain of salt.

      Yes, and don’t forget the local politicians handing out tax incentives and sweetheart deals to data centers so we can all chip in together to help the tech bros delete our jobs.
