One thing I suspect is that leadership at tech companies that would have previously been working off of direct experience with technical processes, even if they no longer work directly on their own codebases, is pretty clueless about AI coding because it's so new. All they have to go with is what they read, or sales pitches, or their experience dabbling with Cursor to build simple python utilities (which AI tools work pretty well for most of the time), and they don't see what it can and can't do on a real codebase.

These are people who are stock market shook. I'd be looking at reducing your impact from index funds or if you were stupid enough to invest in tech stocks directly cash out now.
