The AI whisperer! The hottest job title of 2026!
replyIs this mean-spirited comment really what you want to share as the face of your company?
replyI don’t know this person but no one else is holding back on mean spirited replies, I see no reason they shouldn’t reply in same.
replyHe was bullied into purchasing AI by similar mean-spirited comments. Now that everyone can see that the emperor has no clothes, this sort of abusive rhetoric is the only leg he has to stand on.
replyHe doesn't deserve his job; He is not qualified for technical leadership.
His comment sucks but it is indeed a skill issue. Not the skill of "agentic coding" or whatever but the skill of having and communicating good ideas. A lot of engineers/people are bad at that, and are struggling to produce anything of value with AI coding.
replyThis but the train is competence (the opposite of AI).
reply> It's new. It's different. It's hard. It's your job. Learn how to use it effectively, embrace the new abundance mindset.
replyThis. Except it’s not that hard to get proficient. Either learn it or get left behind same as it ever was in software tech.
Your bio says that you're a CTO. If you spent millions on AI contracts, you're a mark and you don't deserve your job.
reply> spent millions on AI contracts
replyThe key question is how much value has been delivered on the other end for a given cost. Well used, tokens would be cheap at 10x the price right now.
Care to share your costs and revenues then?
replyObviously he would have shared them already if they aligned with his abusive rhetoric.
replyI'm sorry that you've been tricked. Give up the ghost before you ruin your reputation more than you already have.
reply>> Don't fall into a grumpy luddite trap, the train is leaving the station and you'll struggle to catch up if you don't learn and grow.
replyIf that's true things are truly hopeless for pre-school/school children who are not in position to jump on the train just yet.
Children will jump on any train, that's why I'm in computers, and why there's an AI cheating crisis right now so severe that nobody is learning anything in schools.
