  • I’m in fintech and honestly I wouldn’t have made any of these assumptions… Because I’ve long ago given up on the idea that any real world system is anything better than loose heuristics.

    Like, I could be pleasantly surprised at some point… But honestly even if a PO swore up and down that something was “certain” I probably wouldn’t even believe them.

    I’m also surprised that they didn’t mention that a flight could arrive on a calendar day before it departs.



  • Right now it’s just buzz and empty promises to not sound “left behind” to shareholders.

    Even if it could generate code that could be massaged into a production-ready state at a cost less than having human-only developers (colour me skeptical), I think middle-management would actively sabotage it. You can’t fill your day with pointless meetings when your developers are AI agents.

    So, I actually think the idea is only taken “seriously” at the very highest levels. I expect several layers of resistance even before it hits the actual engineers… Not because it’s a fantasy with no grounding in engineering reality which is ultimately doomed to fail, merely out of self-preservation.
