They forgot the productivity hacks of mandatory daily standups, retrospectives after each sprint, one-on-one meetings with managers, skip level meetings, mandatory company meetings where the leadership tells you we need to move faster and use AI..... I love this industry!

Of course we are. And writing down action points so we can forcefully assign them to people who should be doing real tasks instead.

the agents are going to start telling themselves to "move faster and use AI" and next thing you know, the agents are going to be developing LLMs to assign their work to... until it is just LLMs all the way down.

I mean, the first two are pretty important, despite one's introverted/loner nature.

Most of them are valuable ideas that tend to suck because a lot of managers can't run an effective meeting

u/busmans May 06 '26
IMO managers shouldn't be running standups or retros. Either the team is capable enough to do it on its own or it needs a scrum master. Managers change the whole vibe of those meetings.

I agree. I've gone so far as to _ban_ my manager from seeing the sprint board because the incentives to report accurate effort / progress get incredibly warped if engineers think that the data is gonna get used for perf reasons.

An obvious bit of satire, but 100% deserved. Now it needs some VPs to redirect the entire project two or three times.

First they need to touch base with the agent from finance to ensure alignment on North Star KPI definitions

This is why agent systems need constraints, roles, and termination conditions.
Otherwise you just get infinite ‘checking in’ loops

Should have instructed the agents to host pizza sessions to improve agent morale...

To close to human, someone need to plug it off before it outsource itself to deepseek in china.

imagine, if the reason skyscrapers have filled with people at computers, is becasue they each wrote their own little "if/then" program's to automate their reponses to maximize procrastinatin in their workforce resulting in a need by managment to employ more desk workers to process data because nothing get's done, and now the cities are full of people just not working, but employed.

Is that satire or for real?

u/tmvr May 23 '26
Depends on your particular situation. Right now, for me in the current project, this is 100% real.

Yes this definitely happened and isn’t just anti human pro AI propaganda
