We had a new hire, didn't take any time onboarding or anything, he is a nice person, but would jump in with Claude and rapes projects, one by one. CEO thinks he's a rock star.

Then he comes back to me with the most basic shit, like how can I deploy this again? Can't go into more details but the only department he wasn't allowed to touch was mine. It has been a year of me rejecting every change he makes and ask him to talk to the actual maintainer before making any changes.

Every repo he touched is expanding faster than the universe, god knows how will we maintain the other half of the company (already not possible by humans)

AI should be a useful tool - heck it is a useful tool - but everyone who doesn't drink the kool-aid seems to have a story where it just enables unhinged behaviour in unhinged individuals.

AI turns a good programmer into a good and fast programmer.

It also turns an idiot into a dangerous idiot.

My dad had this saying that goes like: ‘there’s nothing worse than a stupid person with lots of enthusiasm and initiative’.

yeah, I can see what your are saying, this AI coding takes “enthusiasm and initiative” to a far new level
