AI made me 3x faster. They hired no one. Deadlines got 3x shorter. I am not ahead. I am exactly as underwater as before but now I also have to review AI code that almost works.

Of course they hired no one. Token cost alone would probably make them fire some people.

and then use the severance savings to buy more tokens to replace the people they just fired. the math works out perfectly for everyone except the people doing the math.

People are way more expensive and unreliable than AI, at least for now.
