       At $work, people recently started actually writing documentation. Some of it is even useful -- I would definitely benefit from it if I joined next week. However, they aren't writing it for humans to learn -- they're doing it for the Slopilot to generate better code.When it was about helping others learn, understand, and find their way around, they couldn't be bothered to do anything. But when it's for their shiny new toys, they're really putting effort in writing text! They even review this text!I think it says a lot about the people working in this industry. They don't care about people even when they say they do. They only care about playing with tech. I don't know how much longer I'd survive in this kind of environment.#IT #LLM #GenAI

       @pfm@edolas.world Human nature. I can't tell you how many times I'd make a recommendation to management (or even my peers) and they would all be dismissed or ignored.But the moment a consultant or a vendor makes those exact same suggestions to those exact same people, word-for-word, verbatim, and each and every one of them will not only agree that something needs to be done, but they will champion and support the efforts too.At first I found it very frustrating, but towards the end I didn't give a fuck.
