Counterpoint: To afford housing I must demonstrate to my boss that I’m using AI daily.
Counter-counterpoint: The company is going to go bust. Get a job somewhere where you don’t do that before you’re forced to.
Me too, but then I used AI to automate my use of AI and now I don’t have to worry about AI anymore.
Can’t he just ask his AI to demonstrate it for him?
Yes but he’d need an AI to write the prompt to get the AI to demonstrate it.
Demonstrate how? How’s your boss monitoring that?
I’m in the same situation where management has mandated daily AI usage. Cursor is the tool we use, and group-level usage monitoring is built right in. I assume that functionality exists for billing purposes, but managers are just as happy to use it to spy on us.
I’ve taken to impersonating clanker when I message him
“Roger Roger!”
I need AI to do my job though.
It helps (sometimes) in my job, but I wouldn’t be jobless if it went away tomorrow. I also try to only use it for very mundane tasks, because otherwise I would stop thinking for myself and that’s what really ruins programming and makes you stupid.
So that’s what vibe coding is.
