I work for a large accounting firm where the impact of getting things wrong feels quite big.
We’ve started a new sprint for the next chunk of work. The team has put together estimates for various elements of a new accounting feature involving bank transactions, VAT calculations and reconciliation, with the biggest part taking several days by one developer.
My boss gets visibly frustrated and questions how on earth anything can take a few days in the era of AI. He’s also started saying he can do absolutely anything with AI in an hour or less.
Bear in mind before AI what we’re working on would have taken triple or even quadruple the time.
Is this the new normal or should I be looking for a new job? How are we supposed to respond to this?
