Ask HN: Do we want engineers to care less about users?
From a job post (posted here in the forum)
> Must: High Agency, Extreme AI coding experience, Loves agents more than humans
In a small startup I'd imagine having an engineer engaging and empathizing with end-users would be important.
Or are they building a product that actively harms users and thus prefers someone that would be fine doing so?
Or is it about engaging less with co-workers.
Or is this just signalling that the poor engineer will be left to their own devices and shouldn't expect support? > Loves agents more than humans I would recommend people avoid companies that say things like this. If they want you to deprioritize people, they're also deprioritizing you.
