Well, my company did do a lot. I just specifically had nothing to do. It was a really weird situation where my company works with "captive shops" to get work done and my company provides the captive shops with engineers. Half the time, the captive shops were NOT receptive to engineers coming in and telling them what they're doing wrong though, so it's just kinda awkward, especially as an entry-level engineer.

I have stopped short of saying it to work but our 20+ person team is mostly solutions seeking problems, and they are largely personal projects with enough lipstick to look work-related.

Example: Customers ask vague questions. It takes us a long time, sometimes nearly an hour, to guess what they want. Some retard (he's not he's just not being wise) says "Here's my AI project to speed up the guessing process." I'm like... why not ask the customer to clarify AND in the proces soft train them to ask better questions in the future? Nah. The AI project will fix it.

I will say, as someone who has worked jobs where I'm told to "watch paint dry" and get paid for it It is usually torturous

Yup. I worked a factory job where I would take turns on an airgun putting nails into a wooden board. Literally, I did 1 nail, passed it off to the other guy, he did 1 nail, and he passed it back to me.

surely nothing could go wrong having an LLM hallucinate gap filling in a poorly posed problem statement
