CEO1: "We allow our engineers to use AI for all work."
CEO2: "Oh yea? We mandate our engineers use AI for at least N% of their work!"
CEO3: "You think that's good? We mandate our engineers use AI for all code!!"
CEO4: "Pfff, amateurs. We don't even allow our engineers to open source code editors or even look at the LLM output..."

That procedure they follow is all centered around automated code generation. So they simply... don't anymore in practice, it is not part of the job description so to speak. He wasn't happy I can tell, but also acknowledged it was working very well.
