Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It's bad for me too.
I'm trying to hang in there until I get some healthcare stuff taken care of over the next year or two but it is getting increasingly difficult. Most of the the good people at my job have been driven out, quit, or been poached by other (AI) companies.
By this point a majority of the programmers at my job (or at least the one's most active on the mailing lists) are LLM true believers who think that the end times are near. My management chain has explicitly said that LLM programming is required, and that a subsequent increase in "productivity" is expected with it. My department got renamed to something with "AI" in the name. I constantly field questions from people who want me to read a screen full of LLM nonsense, or who push back when I tell them something claiming that the chatbot said differently.
There's always some frantic push to adopt "MCP" or "Skills" or whatever the next fad will be without any guidance as to how or why. If I ignore this I get nastygrams from my manager.
And at my last doctor visit I had elevated blood pressure :)
Oh no... they def will blame the users before blaming the faulty tools. Hope you will not be the one who gets blamed as a wrecker or something when the eventual increase isn't there (or other metrics fall off a cliff).
