MODERATORS
Depending who we are talking about, good riddance.
Will be missed- The jaded technical guy who has 3 decades of institutional knowledge and can sight read machine code like its the Matrix.
Won't be missed- The middle management corpo-speak fat fuck with turkey waddle jowls, spouting the latest efficiency reminders from his SVP (so he hits his own compensation-linked performance targets) while struggling to find the right button to screenshare on the Teams call.
The first group is leaving, they do not want to teach AI
