The further you get from the front lines the less you have a grasp on day to day operations, especially when the job changes. Double that for leaders that never held technical positions, and come from other areas that guide their view on things.
Then you have the power imbalance with a hierarchy, if someone is responsible for your job you are more likely to just say “yes” to bad ideas than push back on them. Even when a manager is receptive to feedback that doesn’t mean the ICs are going to give the feedback, or they get demoralized when their ideas aren’t taken for valid reasons.
My company is doing this too. Measuring this and PR counts.
What’s it about technical leadership and having no fucking clue how anything works?
Ah yes, the “I want to see 1000 lines of code, even if it only takes 50” type of manager.
A steadfast replacement of engineers in leadership with MBA’s over the last decade plus.
Money found a place in the tech chain and has since ruined it.

Time to start with one PR per line of code…
I don’t get it. Are they rewarding people for using it more? It’s not really a tool to reward over using more or less. Just seems strange.
I think because tokens are the only measure of AI use bean counters have
Moar tokens = Moar AI Literate
Even though it’s super fucking easy to burn through tokens and it’s such a garbage metric to begin with.
Ooh new phrase, TokenMogged.
Lmao, I can’t imagine why they have the “thinking” ai’s now.
