It's a matter of whether this project will provide bug fixes, will continue to exist next month and whether the company will end up scrambling to replace it. No CTO cares about (very) questionable "improvements". They care about if it works and will continue to work.

Sorry, as someone who has been involved in many of these decisions, I don't think you understand how any of this actually works in the real world.

I mean.. they made it 2 weeks ago. Clearly the time isn't now. Why be so negative immediately.

There are people who see red whenever AI is involved. We've been automating away jobs for years, but now that we're starting to automate our own jobs, all of a sudden it's a moral outrage. People are just being emotional and not thinking straight. It will take a generation or two for it all to be accepted without drama.

There's so much to do in databases, and it's so hard to get right and test is all, I think we'll all have 10x the jobs. The easy stuff will go away, but to e.g.: test the new DB engine and ensure there aren't any exploits -> let's just work on it. But it's not that the introduction of compilers made engineers obsolete.
