This is how so-called AI can also create jobs...

This sort of story isn't the norm. But it is a risk. Why would anybody in their right mind chose to implement these half-cooked tools in a production environment? You don't run a beta test during open heart surgery either.

    And I'm out here raising chickens in the woods for a couple of years until that rate is more like 500k and then I'll start answering calls from clients who have been on sprees firing their best engineers and replacing them with juniors who now have no mentors to teach them how to see these problems before they happen.

    I'm betting 2028 is going to be a good year for my bank account. Until then I'll scrimp and save and grow what food I can to avoid the insanity that is currently holding every sprint planner hostage.
