I’m fine with AI use in the back end, nobody really codes without something along the lines of copilot or claude anymore anyway.

Well that’s just straight up untrue. My org did an AI pilot to see if it was something we wanted to invest in and it ended up coming back with reduced productivity among devs (largely due to a massive increase in debugging time because of the slop output from the AI). Our devs write good code, faster, without the AI involved.

It’s mostly in management where we’ve seen productivity increases, because of how many emails they are writing on the average day and for transcription of meetings.

Cocktail hour with your coworkers would be so much better if it involved molotovs though… A girl can dream.

I actually have 100GB of DDR4

They’ve got RAM! Get’em!
