    Just tell me when we replace upper "management" with AI. Then you will get me on board.

    Worst part about being a programmer is meetings with non programmers about what they want you to program.

    Client - "Hey can you make that pop and sizzle?"...

    Also clients - "We are HIPAA compliant right?, I told that hospital we use amazon so we must be HIPAA compliant"

    Also also clients - "Why can't we host our db on a different network and connect to it over the internet without a vpn?"

    So these "managers" gonna use AI to replace my job? thats funny.
