Sounds about right.

Nicely done.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@sboxengineering Mam tempomat. Nastaveny na nejvyssi povolenou rychlost, 130. Nic vic mne nezajima.

[shitboxengineering 🏔️🇨🇭 @sboxengineering]

Ne, to je vysírač co jede 130km/h podle tachometru té svojí šunky, v reálu tedy circa 124km/h, blokuje ostatní a ještě se u toho cítí jak Mirek Dušín. Víš kulový proč ten za tebou pospíchá. Možná, že ten za tebou veze ženu do porodnice, možná mu někde zrovna umírá máma. Možná má pohotovost v práci. Třeba je to veterinář co jede zachránit tele. A v cestě mu překáží takovejhle dobrák. Tele se oběsí na pupeční šnůře a chcípne protože to doktor nestih. A ty se můžeš bít v prsa, jak díky tobě dodržel maximální povolenou rychlost jak chceš.

[shitboxengineering 🏔️🇨🇭 @sboxengineering]

@AnekaKrlov2 V překladu vypnout tempomat a jestli to auto umí jet i víc než 130, tak se s ním zrychleně někam zařadit.

Vstřícnost.

[shitboxengineering 🏔️🇨🇭 @sboxengineering]

Do nejbližší možné mezery v pravém pruhu, byť by to pro tebe mělo znamenat zpomalení. Nebo dočasně zrychlit nad maximální povolenou rychlost následně udělat prostor. Samozřejmě nesmíš ohrozit nebo omezit nikoho. Vyraž někdy do německa nebo švýcarska na dálnici. Tam se jezdí vstřícně a i když ten za tebou nedodržuje zrovna maximální povolenou rychlost a pospíchá, bere na sebe to riziko, že ho sejme rychlostní radar, nebo to tam prostě zná, tak nějak mu uhnout znamená “necítit se jako šašek za volantem”. Hlavně se nesnaž lidi školit. Plynulost provozu je nejdůležitější. A jestli se bojíš zrychlit nad 130, tak jezdi radši po okreskách.

@lynk0x I work 10 hours a day. I leave my phone on a dashboard in a Land Rover for most of a day. Sometimes I leave it in a helicopter, sometimes I leave it in a hotel all day long.
