    I’m quite sure a part of my last job loss was due to my open refusal to use AI, which extended to my criticism of the use of AI-generated code being added to a codebase I was expected to manage and maintain. Being careful is seen as friction now, careful is translated as slow, no matter how much time is spent fixing things broken by shitty generated code, fixing is seen as productivity more than careful production is.

      slow is smooth, smooth is fast

      the most productive way to do things is to do it deliberately and with good planning, at least in my field which is not coding related in any way

        Two things which coding is currently allergic to, as the rise of vibe coding has demonstrated

          get yourself into a career where not doing things carefully makes them either to stop working or generating accidents, it’ll usually stop managerial assholes from forcing you to do things wrong way
