Have you ever been in a situation where this was the case? The only time I've come close, the business was a dog.

I was just involved in the hiring process for a new rec on a team adjacent to mine, and the HR/screening process was a complete mystery as to candidate filtering for outside applicants. So many AI tools making arbitrary judgments from resume content to psychological profiles of candidates, led us to 0 organic people “qualified” enough to interview for an SRE/Devops role. All we hire now is referrals as they are the only ones to get pass automated screening

Claude code and open code with various models. Codex thrown in for good measure here or there and when I hit limits elsewhere

My goal is to cope until retirement

Sounds close to my team. I just fall in line and let the agents do whatever while I sleep, do laundry or game. Check in occasionally to hit “yes” on prompts.

Yeah it’s hot garbage, I’ve moved to gpt5.4, which actually performs well enough for now

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Tool de jour, similar to web framework of the month etc. Gemini and ChatGPT are just as useful

Hahaha this is great

It’s not hard to make equivalent (or higher) base, but you just lose out on the stock

At least that ai slop makes money. I’ve seen human-created slop make nothing and still require the same effort and cost to uplift architecture/code to a useable state.

This gives me PTSD
