At work, the team isn’t very good at python. They’re mostly SQL people. Which is fine. I’m happy to mentor and guide.
The product lady said to me “can you write a guide on confluence about how to do python good?”
I’m like, people write whole published books about that you gotta pay money for. I’m not going to bang out a couple paragraphs and code blocks and suddenly people are heavy weights.
I wrote something anyway because I don’t want to further irritate the product lady.
It is not capitalism and this is not me defending it, but rather pointing out that it is how humanity naturally seems to structure itself. The narcissist / psychopaths / sociopaths tend to get into “leadership” positions and the dumb folks idolize and empower them and thus we end up with the smartest people writing a few paragraphs for the manager who is socially savvy but suffers from the Dunning Kruger Effect. This happens in all economic and political systems including Capitalism and Communism as the Sam people tend to get into positions of power.

“I’ll just hold off on the termination notice until you’ve finished writing it.”
So, look AI sucks, but busywork like this might do ok at “a quick guide to python”.
Sounds like a perfect job for oneshotting LLM prompt and direct copy-paste without looking at the results.
This is capitalism
