small rant incoming
I work for a company that it’s mostly hardware focused, but we do ship some software for the final consumer including drivers and programs, to make use of said hardware.
While I am not in the software department, I held some SWE positions in previous companies for over a decade, our software isn’t very complex and I do know most of it pretty well.
Our employee just announced a new AI-only development cycle, they want all code submissions and reviews to be exclusively done by claude, effectively ending ownership of the code being shipped to customers. This is absolute madness.
Today, I received an email scheduling a workshop on how to integrate claude into vscode and how to work with the new gitflow, namely removing our authorship from commits and having al code reviews done by a LLM now.
I am just baffled at the decision.
edit: wow I’m a bit overwhelmed by the response, I did read all of you. Thanks!
those companies likely use AI to screen out peoples AI resumes too.
Absolutely. They first ask you to fill an “internal resume” that is automatically filled by AI from your PDF, then is it parsed by an “ATS grader” to give you good or bad grades (I’ve seen it done by a friend of mine). It allows HR to reject most people quickly without reading or doing any kind of work.
I don’t blame them though, most fullstack job offers have up to 200 applicants for any kind of job or requirement. It’s: AI job offer -> 200 AI fake resume -> AI ATS to reject people.
or they just ignore the first few dozen resume, and just choose one they like. they originally use software to do this before AI, i can imagine it does it more faster, and haphazardly. i wouldnt be surprised if that ATS system, is just randomly doing it too. if like 50 people have too similar in experiences, likely it might choose those 50 to discard. im curious what did ATS metrics was used on your friend?
