<p>Tbh that's to be expected, the work machine is the company's property and there shouldn't be any expectation of privacy.<p>I work at a tech firm in India, and we are encouraged to create skills.md based on the traits of our colleagues, with the intention of reducing key personnel risk. A handful of engineers were let go as the result of a re-alignment, and their AI counterparts are actively maintaining their code.<p>I wonder if this is where they are going.</p>

<p>The proposed industry solution is to use agents to review PRs, as not to slow down the velocity of delivery...<p>My current workplace is going through a major "realignment" exercise to replace as many testers with agents as humanely possible, which proved to be a challenge when the existing process is not well documented.</p>
