  • Hahaha I wish. There isn’t any real “management” to speak of where I’m at, and it’s a flat structure, meaning literally anyone can send me work and I’m just expected to do it. Right now I’m working the weekend to finish a task that someone else couldn’t do and it fell to me. There’s a ticketing system, but it’s only really half-used (of course, I myself turn these tasks into tickets, but that’s about it).

    Trying to slowly change all this over time, because I love my job outside of this lack of management, but I also don’t hold any delusions about that.








  • 1: Does IBM even have an LLM that would be considered “good” these days? Maybe they do, but I haven’t heard about it.

    2: If this was in 2019, no wonder it flopped. Only very recently have we gotten to a point where this should’ve even been considered (and then, in my opinion given the current state of LLMs, dismissed).

    3: More than 100 stores were testing this?? Did they not think to start with like, one store and see if that worked at all?

    4: While a short-lived victory, this is still a win for people that rely on these jobs. Good for them.
