If productivity is not improving with the use of "(now expensive)" genAI, then turn it off, not lay off

    I think it might be very hard for AI-pilled leadership to back off from their claims and AI mandates and it would not help the hype that they might be banking on/profiting from.

    ok, if they are profiting from genAI (and cloudflair has the means to run their own with out the big 3 or 4) then turbo charge that advantage by keeping the 1000 devs that are running all these agents. if they are not, keep the 100 devs and move them to developing the AI so that it works...
