  • Single function text prediction, class boilerplate, some refactoring.

    It’s decent when you inherit outrageously bad legacy code and you want better comments and variable names than “A, x, i”, etc.

    You do have to do it within an editor that highlights all changes so you can carefully review, though.

    Not so much a productivity boost, but rather a bad intern you can delegate boring, easy tasks to. I’d rather review that kind of code than write it, but of you’re the other way around, it’s a punishment.





  • That’s a job for THE MIDDLE MANAGER!! (imagine a crappy super hero)

    No, seriously, do not step over your boss to talk to theirs. That’s like, the job your boss has, and they might get pissed at you, and, depending on pettiness level, make your life worse. Talk to your boss, explain how and why that’s a problem. Make it clear you expect them to solve it.

    If and only if they say they can’t do anything, you may consider talking to your boss’ boss. But not the other team’s boss. Before doing that, I’d have hard financial evidence, like the other commenter suggested. Log your hours in their time buckets for at least a month, get others to join you in doing the same, get a report with total amount spent. Then you turn again to your boss and maybe include boss².
