Argon is doing my job for me while I'm writing this comment.

A guy at lunch today asked me when a feature was going to be built on the tool I'm working on. Turns out it had built it last night at 8:30 when I was hanging out with my girlfriend. Welcome to the future!

I don't get it. This technology has almost reached the point where they don't need you anymore, and you're joyful about it for some reason?

Same. And for everyone in my team. We’ve been super impressed by Argon for a few weeks.

But it still takes 2 weeks to get a CL approved and past TAP.

so, why is google paying you an absurd comp still. what exactly do you bring to the table that your pm can't order argon to do?

i'm actually curious on what your view is despite the snarky tone.
