Now imagine that your work specs are generated by an AI agent that the EM is using.
Do you still care about the work?
Even if I do still care about it, I hope I'm not so naive as to think that following the words of the AI agent will cause me to achieve my EM's intent. They'd be a useful reference at best for my actual knowledge of what they want that I found elsewhere.
Brother, I don't care who writes the specs as long as they sign the checks on time. And yes, I do care about my work even if upstream is slop. In a relay race, you can lower your performance to weakest leg, or you can be the strongest leg. And maybe I just like to run.
If my manager can't be bothered to do any actual work but expects me to, no. I'm quitting. Next question.
