The funny thing is it's easier to replace salespeople with AI than developers. They should be losing salespeople first!
It’s not about business optimization, it’s about not having to defer to someone’s knowledge from the position of power.
AI bubble makes so much sense when you start looking at it this way.
What does that mean? “Defer” “knowledge” “position” & “power” aren’t connecting in my head…
My read of it was "the C-suite hates when the engineers actually know how shit works, and the leadership must kowtow to the people doing the actual work." YMMV or the commentor may have meant something completely different.
