Why not both? I've met my share of idiots measuring productivity wrong, and there needs to be a chain of idiots all the way up to let this escalate to a lawsuit (chains of idiots I've also seen). But I've also seen cruelty on occasion, and you need to have no empathy with your workers to have made this call in the first place.

What was that recent Microsoft quote, something about "we believe with Copilot one developer can produce 1m lines of code per month"?

I could produce way more than 1m lines of code in far less than a month, and wouldn't even need Copilot.

I'm actually a bit terrified of the amount of code being cranked out. We worked on some code generators yesterday (not vibe-coded with AI, but yes, AI assistance was used heavily throughout) that generated thousands and thousands of lines of code. So we looked really really productive yesterday...

So can I, and so can any man, but will they be useful lines?
