If I was working foe spotify I would honestly lie just to do something better than ask an AI to do bullshit for me
Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

There is zero chance this is true.

Truth no longer matters to these clowns. Who cares about it’s true? Who cares that Spotify is already good… And the one thing they can do to is make it worse?

Yeah, I wonder about this often: the product is finished; aside from curation, what else does it need?

An A-B repeat feature. Member when media players had that? I member. Back in my day you could listen to the ooga booga section of Freak on a Leash 162 times in a row with just two clicks.

You will never see that implemented. You should be thankful you even have a pause button.

I’m not so sure. I could believe their entire job has been consumed by failing AI slop in code review.

It’s probably true.
Think of it with this alternate headline:
Spotify reclassifies what constitutes a good developer
And no doubt, they’re capturing what these “good developers” do to better train the clanker to make the “bad developers” redundant.

Probably just lying to their boss. I have an AI obsessed boss and regularly lie about how much I use it because productivity is actually measured entirely by their perception of you and not by any real metric.

I’ve tried explaining this to me peers that just quietly bust their asses while noisy jerks (including me, but to a lesser extent than most) get perceived as high performers because they engage with their bosses and work on things that have high visibility.

I thought about lying on my last report but decided to not. At this point they’re going to have to fire me if they can’t accept the truth. I’m not lying to save my skin.

And their bosses are just lying to their bosses, and it’s lying and yessing all up and down the line, and the rest of out here just have to live with whatever The Machine pukes out for us.
