Is this your reality? I’ve noticed that while the team is way more burned out people are also way less engaged and no longer critically think about edge cases or design reviews, etc anymore.
Yep. Someone will copy-and-paste a Jira ticket into AI and blindly accept the output without thinking about the actual intent and context behind the request. It's frustrating. I use AI sparingly, mostly on personal projects where I am prototyping and the quality is not of the greatest concern.
Yeah this is true on my team for two archetypes: the new junior engineer and the old staff engineer that was too “busy” to ever actually write code. Now he’s just busy in a different superficial way.
