A paid, non working, in-the-press employee body is more of a drain on business than an absent one, I bet.

We need a lot more of them to join https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/ .

The biggest action I know of was the Women’s walkout in 2018, about 20k employees. But, no persistent action and no escalation, so no real result.

Reporting in Iraq, if others didn’t know.

Companies often go to recruiting events / job fairs, where you can talk to a recruiter (or sometimes an engineer) for a couple minutes and make an impression.

So many potential confounding factors.

Whoops, misread that as “hard.”

Maybe enough that corporate types will find it compelling?

The core problem was not simply the technology itself. It was the organizational inability to integrate AI into real workflows, learn from deployment and distinguish between a demo that worked and a system that delivered.

Yeah, it has that phrasing sometimes.

No one had the cultural standing to say this looks great, and we are not putting it into production.

Can someone in your organization look at a slick prototype and say “no” without career risk? If the answer is no, vibe coding becomes a one-way ratchet.

This is definitely the feeling at my company. “How fast is AI letting you ship” is the only question management & executive are asking.

the resulting ambiguity will be filled by whoever moves fastest, which is rarely whoever should be deciding.

Gonna have to try that out. I think it would have told interesting stories on some past repos.

I wish '‘co-authored by AI’ was easy to flag in vcs.

Babies go nuts for crinkles for a few months of development. I wonder if it’s related.

I wonder how much of it was vibe coded. And how much the owners will have to give up because of the beach, if anything.
