Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google have begun forcing AI tools down the throats of unwilling engineers. Managers are presented with dashboards showing how their underlings use AI. In some places, insufficient enthusiasm for AI tools will count against you in your next performance review.
That is an amazingly stupid idea. You should reward the outcome, not the way it was achieved. It reminds me of other poorly led organizations that reward those who put in many hours over those who get the same job done faster.
If your AI tools are so great, people will use them of their own volition. Forcing them on people demonstrates that they don’t work as well as advertised.
