Prompt an LLM to write a bit of code that does something. Do this 9000 times until it spits out something that vaguely accomplishes this task. You can't push any of the fever dream nonsense it created into the main branch until you check it thoroughly. In the end you spend more time with this process than you would have if you'd just written it yourself.

The C suite and the board members continue jerking each other off as they call this "efficiency."
