Well, you could try using AI. Seriously.

I’m pretty sure that the alternatives are ostracisation or leaving the company. Leaders set company policy, you’re not going to have a good time fighting something this fundamental. Just my 2p.

Plus, maybe if you try it, you won’t be so scared of it, it’s not in a state yet where it doesn’t need a lot of guidance from real engineers

I’m not necessarily confrontational about AI adoption. I’m more interested in situations where leadership basically sets you to fail: unrealistic velocity expectation, too much context switching, code sprawl, PR floods, and so on.
