jokes aside, I really do love software engineering that's why I am making an IDE for this era. Let me know what you think:

Uhm – isn't "coax my goddamn tooling into doing what I want" basically all we did pre-LLMs anyway?
I am not trying to defend Apple or Siri by any means. I think the product absolutely should (and will) improve. I am just curious to explore why there is such negativity being directed specifically at Apple's AI assistant.
I feel like you would benefit from having a real-life photo of "The deck" feature. Your description does it justice, but your graphic does not. (To me)
This is a good point. Or the migration appears to have been very successful to management (before it's actually complete from an engineering perspective) and they get promoted / moved onto higher priority work.
Either way: make sure you are keeping the rest of the relevant engineering organization informed about how the new system works and how the migration is going to work.
Find ways to ship smaller versions of the migration first. If possible: isolate features that can be migrated on their own.
If possible silently run v2 in parallel with v1 for as long as it takes to be comfortable with v2.
Assume that at some point you are going to have to completely halt the migration, go back to v1-only, fix something, and restart the migration.
I'd bet it's going to take 2-3x longer than you think to completely deprecate v1.
I am not sure I agree with the premise that I should not expect to hear information secondhand. I find it fairly effective to have a network of well connected individuals in the org who will ping me when there is new information I need to know about. We help each other stay more disconnected (and productive) by acting as information filters/forwarders. I allow these people to have interrupt privileges for me because I know if they are sending me a notification it has been vetted for urgency
