This is what meetings should actually be used for. Going through line by line and reading the document aloud to sanity check and discuss potential misses imo

That would actually make meetings a valuable use of our time which is exactly why it won’t happen.

We passed the “Holy fuck that’s expensive!” phase a few months ago and have moved on to the “Use AI for everything but don’t actually do that just use it for some things why [didn’t/did] you use AI for that we can’t afford the [additional time/Azure bill] hahahahahahahaha.” phase. Swap the values in brackets at random on any given day.

Literally a meeting at work today.

Director: “Why was this requirement missed?”

PM: “Well, my understanding is that AI was used to write the requirements and that AI was also used to generate the code and perform code reviews. …So there were no actual people who understood the requirements involved in the process. Also, this seems to be becoming more and more of a problem.”

Director: “Oh. Uh… Ok. Maybe don’t bring up “AI” whenever you discuss this with senior management because I’m not sure how well that will go over. Just say, ‘the requirements were missed.’”

PM: …

Issa argued that online piracy helps fund terrorist groups and other criminal networks.

Gotta play the "Everything I don’t like is ‘terrrorism’. " card, naturally. I wonder if it hurts when you have the collective hand of media conglomerates shoved up your ass like a sock puppet.
