“If you’re told you have to do a code review, it’s never a fun part of the job. When you’re working with these tools, it’s most of the job.”
This for me is the worst part of the AI take over that is happening, management people at my company keep saying that it automates the boring stuff and leaves you more time for the fun stuff. But for me writing code is the best part about my job.
Lately I've heard they implemented 6 hour code reviews at my company. Vibe coding and vibe reviews I guess 🤷♂️
The internet at large has been scraped dry it would appear.
Now they are on to scraping the skills of people by having them correct the poorly done work of the AI.
When the AI is mature enough, you’ll be given your walking papers.
It sucks ass.
Deciphering and debugging that "boring stuff" is what will supplant the original "boring" work of writing code.
Amazon gonna Amazon.
Bad time to have infrastructure running in AWS. I wonder how long before they start experiencing outages as a result of un-checked hallucinated code.
Not just happening at Amazon. My company is doing this too.
Mine too. Vibe code and push it out. We are in some kind of race now. Idk what all the rush is for. It's insane
The race is quarterly profits before implosion
gotta earn the boss that golden parachute
Surprised they are only now complaining that it resembles warehouse work, they were shitty to work for as a software engineer before "AI". Can't imagine what hellscape they are now.

The headline is novel, but the complaint that Amazon's habit of stack-ranking staff has turned the corporate office into an endless, chronically stressful rat-race is nothing new.
From what I've heard of a few folks who worked there, the only two savvy moves when working at Amazon are to find a job where the work is so basic and routine that you'll never miss your quotas and can't possibly fail or be so ruthlessly ambitious that you climb over the backs of every manager above you until you can make the leap to a close-knit "independent contractor" who facilitates Amazon from the outside at above-Amazon payscale.
But the corporate ladder at Amazon is a lie. It's just a meat-grinder. Unless you can find a place where the stack-ranking system can't get you, the entire company is up-or-out from your first day on the job to your last.
