pretty sure he's serious too

Zerocracy boosts the productivity of software teams by rewarding and punishing programmers when they deserve it (programmers, not teams).

Zerocracy is non-intrusive: it doesn't tell programmers what to do, when, or how. Instead, it observes their actions and informs them when they earn or lose points.

As a manager, you can use the points earned by programmers to calculate their bonuses or even salaries. Even if you don't, the gamification alone will significantly improve team productivity and reduce turnover.

Oh yeah, giving an LLM agent access to a database has never resulted in anything bad

Prompt: make no mistakes. Don't delete the database.

No way this can go wrong

TBH it tells you more about the people using LLMs for this sort of stuff than it does LLMs. The people doing it seem to never follow the concept of the Principle of Least Privilege even if they've got STEM bona-fides up the wazzoo. Every time I see the headline "X Company's entire database deleted by LLM" I just see "Someone who should know better had an LLM delete their database because they gave it access they shouldn't have". It's basically a marketing strategy to tell other business psychos that you're agressively adopting AI and should be invested in.
