alt Hacker News> there's always an infinite supply of new work that could be done
I distinctly remember a discussion where someone says "Man, I wish JIRA would add this feature/fix this bug"
Someone else pipes in: "I bet there is already a ticket on the JIRA bugtracker/feature board for this, it's not done and it's from 9 years ago" and lo and behold there was.
Unfortunately, none of these companies are going to turn their AI loose on important, annoying, 9 year old bugs. They're just going to use it to cram more unwanted features into their software, just like they're doing today with human developers.
