A year of mandatory use of AI turned out to be a disaster for the startup.
At first, according to the programmer, everything went great - and productivity increased. But then, they were coded in such a way that the base increased 3 times compared to the times when they were advanced by hand. And no one understood how the code worked, AI just augmented the ever-growing system.
The result is that the management asks the workers to work with their hands again. But everyone has already forgotten how - now, tasks take three times as long as before.
