It also contains some practicable advice for people caught up in the meat-grinder. I would summarize that advice as:
- if you're in a tenable position and trying to continue Getting Shit Done, let everyone else's mania go, you can't fix it. keep your head down and play the game of trying to achieve goals, even if it means lying about "AI" use to appease chattering heads
- if you're in an untenable position where you're being drowned by reviewing slop, treat it as if you have already been fired and begin looking for a new position now.

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io Good advice. If you are in a super tenable situation (like me) then I gently urge NOT lying about using AI. That has been my firmly stated position since 2024 because I want folks at my company to stop and think before blindly following the herd and "doing what they are told". Being a visible person who's not participating gives room for others to also opt out. I'm not obnoxious, just very firm in my position and ready to accept being fired if it happens.
