Executives: "But how do we do that without the incredible investment of AI?!"
Developer, sitting in the corner, arms crossed and covered in cobwebs: "Harumph"
As a developer, our executives and stakeholders have really losed focus. It seems like 10-20 years ago we were being asked to solve tightly scoped problems. Now we get massive sprawling edicts, tons of how I want it, and the result is a very unpolished product. No one seems to care about basics or details anymore. This predates our current AI mess and the AI boom has only made things worse.
Decades ago we had engineers and devs rise up through the ranks to become a part of steering committees.
Now they’re all MBA/BPM/PMBOK people with either zero or superficial tech/dev knowledge.
You cannot “tightly scope” that which you cannot understand.
That gave me a good chuckle
