Sliding the wrong direction
Sliding the wrong direction
There are still many good ICs, but management is turning over too fast to have any semblance of a culture. It is good if you are on a favored team or project by leadership, and otherwise you will just be blamed whenever those teams break things.
Leadership is enamored with AI buzzwords but doesn't really know how to adopt them effectively.
Engineering culture has changed from being performance- and outcome-based to one of shameless self-promotion and pushing AI slop without any individual accountability for output quality.
It's becoming a race for individuals to automate so they won't be the ones fired, rather than building AI tooling together.
AI tools are the future, clearly, but engineering leadership is losing the plot.
