My workplace is now name-and-shaming/praising engineering teams based on a ranking of what proportion of their PRs use generative AI, with more-vibe-codey teams scoring “higher” than less-vibe-codey ones.
There are no metrics to back up the assumption that these teams are more-productive, or produce fewer regressions, or develop and maintain their skills better. It’s just supposed to be a given. When challenged, senior management falls back on “it’s used at [name of large company], so we need to use it too” arguments.
Fuck.
