Read a rant about corporate Scrum hellholes before AI existed. Reddit and this site is full of them.

This is similar except mindlessly churning short tickets with no time to plan or think and producing crap has been replaced my mindlessly herding bots and producing crap. Management doesn’t care and just wants to push tickets is a constant.

I’ve seen the term “code grinding” for these environments and I saw that phrase as far back as the 2000s.

This isn’t a new type of workplace. I’m willing to believe AI has made it even more dull.
