Anyone else in the industry feeling frustrated that AI is being used to pitch goofy "product features" that demo well to Boards but are utterly useless to K8s practitioners and are 100% not cloud-native patterns?
Sorry that this is a little bit of belly-aching, but I feel like actual product innovation is grinding to a halt as engineering effort is being redirected to building barely-working prompts that perform great in a demo with synthetic data but barely work IRL at all. Meanwhile there's already a beyond-competent community project out there solving the problem without AI. Then management takes the demo, calls it "product" and moves on to the next sham "agentic use case."
I'm not a developer but it feels so frustrating to watch the skills of so many bright people being wasted on puppet shows.
