A grumpy screed about AI in software engineering

Samuel Sutch vents that every PR, code review, design doc, and ticket is now AI-generated slop. He says in many orgs 100% of engineering output is slop, and even leadership roadmaps are at least half AI-written. Opting out isn't viable—companies now screen for AI enthusiasm in the first interview. He points to projects like Zig as rare holdouts but expects non-AI work to remain a niche. The post offers no conclusion, just a plea to stay sane.

Why it matters: First-person rant from a 20-year veteran with concrete scenes and real emotion — hits all three HKR axes. Not a product launch or research breakthrough, so below 85, but strong industry signal worth featuring.
