Unproductive Engineer here: I am not productive because of constant meetings about doing things. I am now not productive because of Meetings about doing things using AI.
Edit: Forgot to add, Senior engineers are too overloaded to do any PRs.. So usually it takes them weeks to get around to looking at the code the manager wanted pushed two weeks back. And often, they miss stuff that seems obvious in hindsight because they are burnt out. The genius solution by management: Copilot code reviews. Yes, AI gets to nitpick about the curly brackets and tabs vs. spaces all over again.
Hot take: those meetings are production value. They are work. Otherwise middle management would have replaced themselves with AI.
