Sooo I’m a consultant and I go from client to client to improve their quality sometimes I create a presentation/talk about their before and after or just the “as is” to pinpoint critical bottlenecks etc etc … (sometimes even with the client, mostly anonymous if external)
So sometimes I make anonymous presentations/talks about my work and my approach but this one got me good… so do you guys ever think if I put all this in a presentation: “who daf*q is going to believe this???”
I’ve seen some bad stuff at clients but really unbelievable also
I’ve met a client and their whole architecture is basically made with chatgpt and the architects often respond with “chatgpt disagrees or that’s not what my chatgpt says” – Yes Architects
And it only goes downhill from there… yes… it gets worse … hence why I’m thinking to do a talk about it but I’m really doubting anyone would believe all this
The overreliance on AI tools without context, critical thinking or accountability is becoming a pattern and its always us who brought in to clean the mess. (testers/consultants..)
I think sharing these stories is important - not to shame, but to create awareness. People often underestimate how much damage a misinformed decision can cause downstream. A talk on this would be incredible, not just to share the shockers but also to start the real conversation around what’s happening.
The more “unbelievable” it sounds, the more it needs to be told.
I think there would have to be some key takeaways / actionable advice at the end of it all. It’s all very good hearing about the stories, but what if we find ourselves in a similar position - how should we handle it? What did(n’t) work for you, and what might you do differently if it happened again? Did you change your mind about anything along the way? etc.
so I think this will be the best platform to showcase such stories
