Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Our bank turned GitHub Copilot into the world’s most expensive email subscription

Non-tech people building “tech” to unleash developer productivity. The blind leading the productive. Peak corporate comedy.

An entire department with zero real engineers. Just non-engineers babysitting actual engineers while producing endless meetings, dashboards, and governance theater.
All cosplay, zero building. Peak “developer experience.

Exactly. They didn’t adopt AI they added another layer of middle management that sends emails about AI.
Next up: KPIs on how many Copilot summaries you generate, mandatory monthly AI town halls, and a new “AI Governance” committee.
Same bank, new buzzwords. Zero velocity. 😂

Bank engineering: 0% building, 100% searching SharePoint, sitting in meetings, traveling for alignment, and making PPTs about why nothing ships.
