alt Hacker News> 95% of Uber engineers now use AI tools monthly with 70% of committed code originating from AI.
Well, that’s to be expected when using AI tools becomes relevant in your performance evaluation.

yeah and once the KPI is "how much AI did you use" instead of "what did you ship," the budget blowout writes itself. people will game the number.

When managers and VPs all say, you must use AI or else you will not work here, then yes, people will use it.

I don't understand this critique. (1) Did you previously think you weren't getting paid for doing what a company wants you to do, aka what THEY thought was productive? (2) Do you think all this AI generated code is useless?
Edit: y'all are some whiney folk, ain't ya?

It's actually incredible the extent to which non devs imposing KPIs on devs underestimate how badly this will get gamed, whether it's AIs, PR/line counting or whatever.
