> When the pissed off stakeholders called a meeting to ask what was going on he didn’t show up and sent his junior engineer to answer questions and take the blame.

He doesn’t have 25 years of management experience for nothing, that’s a crafty vet move!

Thanks for sharing this; I'm hoping your horrific experience will help some of my friends, who are afraid LLM's will take everyone's jobs.

My boss is a designer and does the same. He has come into a mature product's codebase, the only project the company has, he called me about 6 months ago and started boasting with a screenshare showing me how he had 5 terminals open and smashing through ideas straight into production.

Now the system is failing, he thinks I am going to go in and fix all of his problems. Told him straight what I told him 6 months ago, he owns it, so get it fixed.

Not sure what happens to myself or the company by the end of the year.

Needs to be more stories about these people injecting AI Hopium and destroying their product, there isn't enough of them.

The most serious vulnerability that any LLM has exposed to date is in the human brain, where a whole lot of people cannot help but anthropomorphize it and they seem to be willing to totally forego critical thinking. I think this vulnerability has existed for a long time but the mass exploitation is going to destroy quite a few organizations.

> My Eng lead has no coding experience, 25 years of management experience, yet has driven 3 separate projects into technical bankruptcy to date.

This is C-suite material.

Future president in the making.
