Ai Projects, No Vision
Ai Projects, No Vision
Some theoretically interesting problems to solve. And did I mention AI?
Senior leaders are hell-bent on getting AI projects delivered, lacking any vision (priorities shifting monthly), and demonstrating a total lack of empathy for anyone below their pay grade.
A glut of middle managers don't provide customer value, but an unending stream of documents.
Senior engineers literally don't write any code, but "influence" other teams to deliver customer value.
The gears of this sausage factory are kept lubricated by a steady supply of entry-level SDEs who lack the technical proficiency to deliver anything of quality.
Fifty percent of the management chain could be removed and would actually accelerate the project timelines.
Senior engineers should be delivering customer value and not documents.
The SDE quality bar has dropped off a cliff in the last 10 years, but maybe you’ll be able to replace all these fungible cogs with AI in a few more years.

If you're not grinding LeetCode for 10 hours a day, every day, for months or years, you're not going to pass. I don't care what any gurus selling courses say. If you manage to pass this and then get through the bar-raiser, you get to work on-site 5
