So true.

I worked one place where I had a team of 4 offshore devs replace my two good people. Three months of some of the worst quality work I’ve ever seen. And I was responsible for it on paper.

Decided fuck it, promoted one of them to manager and gave him a project to finish in 3 months, leading the other 3.

In that three months I redid that entire project, did their current project and a week of another one. All in a 25 hour week calendar.

Then I quit.

A lot of people are going to get a painful lesson in this if companies keep using LLMs to do all their programming.
