If the MBAs could clearly and unambiguously articulate exactly what needs to be implemented

LOL if only.... If this happened, we'd need half as many engineers, even without AI. It feels like a third of my work hours are dedicated to figuring out what the fuck they actually want, and half of them are dedicated to building the wrong thing because they change their mind or didn't say something.

Shit makes me feel like I should go into management but you could not pay me enough to sit around and talk to these people for 8 hours a day.

Sure, AI would solve some problems if people could actually ask the right questions. But engineers are already being paid to be those translators on their own since companies cannot find any other way to solve this problem.

Yup. My boss is an engineer by training and I would not take his job, even if it got me the extra $50k per year he makes
