MODERATORS
The only way for us to not "do this to ourselves" is to form unions. Otherwise we aren't driving the decisions on what is used and what's prioritized at all.
Safety critical (aerospace, medical, precious few other) industries have regulated quality, with moderate success. It's far from perfect, farther from ideal, but it is providing some additional resource and schedule allocation to do the things that need doing to ensure the systems don't screw up too badly, too often.
Am in automotive and there's definitely some of that. Much more so than in other industries I've worked. With that said, it's a losing battle against the value proposition of AI. We're getting AI use mandated on us.
I'm in one of those others I mentioned (and I try not to reference my company online because of... reasons), and we're getting strongly encouraged to "integrate AI in our daily workflows, where it makes sense" - not just coding, but coding is an obvious target. As a business we tend to change slowly, so this will be... interesting.
Sounds almost like we work for the same company. ๐ Perhaps they all lifted this statement from the same consultancy contractor.
Amen.
