“I'm taking a bit of a risk with this one, this is a novella I authored with the help of AI. If that offends you, please move on! Everyone on HN knows just how much AI is disrupting our industry. Although, much of the industry narrative focusses on the tools, the AI, the harnesses, and their ever-growing capabilities. We need to spend just as much, if not more time discussing the impact this is having on us. Humans will still be a significant part of the software engineering ‘system’, and many of us are rapidly trying to determine what our role will ultimately be. Storytelling is a great medium for communicating and understanding change. That’s why I really enjoy books like The Phoenix Project — a vehicle for helping people understand the DevOps transformation from a human perspective. This story is very much inspired by The Phoenix Project: a near-future account of the impact AI has on an organisation deep in the pursuit of speed, ignoring the risks and the human impact. This story was written with the help of AI. While I can write a decent technical blog post, there is no hope for me when it comes to works of fiction! I have not tried to disguise the AI writing, and I have no”
