@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com I think this is still WAY too optimistic about AI, but I guess what would you expect from an article written by managers who see humans as infinitely interchangeable and replaceable resources... The problem is way more than burnout. It's shiting roles to people who complete the work faster *because* they don't have the training or experience to know if it's actually done well. So they don't do it well, they only do it fast. Designers start vibe coding, turning the engineers into testers just trying to cobble that slop together, then the testers are doing more dev and sysadmin work, and pretty soon everyone is doing every job EXCEPT the one they actually have the skills for. And then in a few years all your code is an unreadable, unmaintainable mess that nobody can work with, including the AI.
