Enterprise software CEO here. I'm so pissed off that I didn't think of this rule, but so, so happy to be adopting it org-wide on Monday.

Fed up with what used to be short memos now being mini-whitepapers, with maddeningly low information density.

Mad amounts of respect for that.

The decision was not out of just complaints: we already had someone fired during the probation period because they were unable to write stuff without AI and were just shoving slop at developers.

Not a technical person using AI for PR descriptions, mind you, a product manager unable to write tickets without asking whatever software to do so.

It's amazing how crazy humanity devolved into pure slop.

I had people on teams who wrote like pre-LLMs.

The AI code _reviewer_ is a whole new level of exhausting. Submit your PR and 1m later it has 8 comments.

My company stopped reading PRs (100% LLM) and we're just supposed to click Approve, and then someone else clicks the Merge button. They are absolutely reckless and I'm looking for a new job.
