From the COO's updated bio on the website:
"During this period of significant change, he was instrumental in modernizing the company’s operating model—most notably by securing strategic partnerships focused on technology modernization and AI-driven code conversion. These initiatives more than doubled Sabre’s engineering workforce, increased development velocity, and delivered greater efficiency and value to customers.'
You can't make it up.
(Well, apparently you can.)
@a8 now your team members will be interrupted by AI generated code review pull requests for bs changes that nobody wants or needs, that will need to be reviewed by someone although the whole team was laid off.
Solve that by letting another AI review the AI generated slop, then just automatically merge that slop into the main branch and automatically push it to prod.
What could go wrong?
AI never makes mistakes!
Right... right? Right??!!
OMFG
How much are we paying for these GitHub automated coding agents? We aren't just drinking the Kool aid, we're buying it by the gallon. What could go wrong.
"AI-driven code conversion" I've been on one of those meetings where some contractor presented how they were converting C# to Java with LLM.
And get this. They didn't have any QA strategy or even QA process at all! In fact they didn't have even a single QA in their team! They just were slopping out Java code and putting it into PROD...
And being contractors they don't give a flying flip about TCO, bugs, oncall, whatever. That is something that other loosers will worry about later on.
They don’t even have a proper AI lawyer on their payroll. They hired someone to be a “product counsel” but then pushed her to do commercial/partnership work because the demand was too high. Then it took the legal department almost a year to decide which team AI compliance would sit under since there was a turf war and office politics involved. Supposedly they housed AI compliance under the privacy team which was already chronically short staffed. How are you going to make AI your company’s whole personality when this role doesn’t even exist. That honestly speaks volumes about how they’re handing AI governance internally.
AI driven code conversion.
Yeah, whatever you say.
More like AI slop correction.
