Reading the stories, I’m happy to be working at a place where management is AI-skeptical. They do allow developers to use LLMs, but the token budget is $5.
I’ve decided not to complain.
I’ve decided not to complain.
We're not tiny (6000 employees or thereabout) and we do software as our primary business, so it's not like we're unfamiliar with the technology. I think we just have conservative management.
I would guess that the reason our management is conservative about this is for a couple reasons. First, a while back we had a ransomware attack that cost an unknown [to employees, at least] amount of money to resolve, which completely rearranged our viewpoint on security. Second, we are a well established software company and already claim something like 3/4 of the addressable market. So instead of a drive to go for additional customers, a fair amount of the focus seems to be on retaining what we have. Our customers are largely non-technical businesses not eager for new software features, they judge success by uptime.
