Post #1807853

Great post from Ky Decker. I especially appreciated this part, on the exhaustion of swimming against the tide: "Do I ask my coworker to disable their note-taking tool, or do I allow them to record me? (Where does the data go? Who is reading it? Do we retain knowledge in the same way without manual note-taking?) Do I voice concerns over unread code entering the codebase, and the consequences of that pattern for institutional knowledge-building? Do I ask others on the design team to delay prototyping until later in the design process? Is it already too late to ask? Has the team already shipped the code, already designed the feature, already moved onto the next task? If someone requests my review on a pull request that was clearly vibe coded, do I review the code and write comments as usual, or send it back to them for self-review? Would initiating these discussions result in interpersonal stress? Should I just let things slide? Would I become known as a “difficult” coworker for pushing back on AI use? Does any of it really matter? Does anyone really care? "All of these questions consumed energy. Whether I decided to confront them or not was moot: they left me tired and alienated either way." https://ky.fyi/posts/ai-burnout #SoCalledAI #LLM #coding #tech #burnout
