I've been the whole morning reviewing and fixing a PR done by opus-5.5. The implementation wasn't even following requirements 100%, inventing some, ignoring some deps and building from scratch so many things.

I have so many questions:

* What kind of work are your agents producing?

* Why is your employer happy with that low quality output?

And most important,

* are you hiring? I could finally finish tetris!

- Backend web shit. Boring.

- Because it solves the problems they need solved.

  - Before AI companies whitelabelled humanity's accomplishments, I was very performance-minded. I still am I guess. I benchmark every function and if it's slower than I anticipated I tell the computer to fix it. A few months ago I would sometimes have to do it myself. Now I don't.

- Not hiring. I'm pretty sure I only have a job for a couple more months. I don't see the point of having a dev team, and I'm on the dev team. Then I'll start an onlyfans or get addicted to some cool drug. Not sure.
