  • As a grey beard, I never touch AI. My job knows it too. My manager accepts it but tells me to keep it quiet.

    They put up with me because I spend 90 % of my current days helping the juniors identify and fix flaws from their AI generated code. The company pushes so hard to use AI, but there’s always something to fix and the juniors will never get that needed exposure for troubleshooting code.


  • Well, just today I had 3 meetings with different AWS techs about why a policy wasn’t working or why users couldnt use certain services. Turns out all of them used AI to generate the aws policy they tried to use and the policies were wrong. The techs were rookies and lacked the understanding needed to correct the code. I was able to fix each and rewrite policies by hand.

    Now when I and the rest of my greybeard generation start to retire, the rookies coming in will not have the exposure to code, policies, etc that we had. The knowledge gained from trial and error will disappear with the retirees. That’s when the crisis will really begin. When we in the know will not be around to correct the rookie mistakes.
