We demand satisfaction, good sir. Pistol or saber - your choice.

I want boring repetitive tasks to do sometimes. I can't innovate 100% of the time and sometimes need a simple 6hr workday where nothing much happened

Amazon glXT53 May 21

Exactly. Trying to do something new always is stressful

Adobe GoraPakoda May 21

I am at a point where manager keeps asking me to build something shiny, something big etc. he won’t say what. Just do something big. He is not happy with normal feature development, bug fixes and taking the application forward. He wants me to do “something magical”. I want few boring days.

Microsoft de53 May 21

So no more ops work for me?

Amazon sirensong May 22

The softie sees something hopeful. This is an amazonian pms worst nightmare because it’s all ops.

It has replaced Google searching and filtering through answers for a general regex I can modify for my case. It has replaced creating mock data for some unit tests I would typically mock.

Paying employees is the most boring bit of all.

Microsoft killing all the TPM jobs 🤣

Airtable CgES46 May 22

What do you think has a bigger market - replacing SWEs or replacing PM/TPMs? Hint: Meta has 20 SWEs for every PM. Which role is better defined and can produce output that can be easily evaluated? Now think which market will BigTech and startups will go after first?

Snowflake ex-aviato May 22

If you think AI will replace SWE you’re delusional. Every single industry today is powered by tech.
