I generally don't have as much time (or patience / fucks) anymore in my day. So, I use AI 3 days a week. On the other two days, I don't use assistants to code, just ask them to review my work after its done.

Helps me keep sane tbh. And keeps the edge sharp.

At work we are literally forced to use AI and it’s part of our performance review. Even though I really like coding by hand, I have to now use AI so I can keep my job. I will try this out though, 2 days per week using AI and the rest handcoding, enough to stave off the inevitable lay off perhaps.

Surely it can’t be hard to token max at work the same fucking way people have games Jira metrics for years and years.

If I’m ever in that position (everything I work on it air-gapped, it’ll never happen) I would make it a priority to figure out how to game that bullshit metric so I could get on with solving actual problems.

I imagine a lot of people do this. Metric becomes a target, etc.

I recommend trying "make this code more enterprise", it seems to pull in the joke and start overengineering everything and giving them absurd names.
