So a "Banished from the Hero's Party" series without the "Banished from the Hero's Party" shtick?
Nice. |

To be honest if anyone wore what she is wearing on the cover of volume 1 they would be at minimum spoken to!

"I don't know if this concept has enough juice to get people to want to buy the series. What should we do?"
"I know, but the lead in a sexy succubus cosplay on the cover. That will get them." |

With a title like that I thought this was going to be a fairly modern Silicon Valley story...

I wonder if Ai was replaced by AI?

This does sound like a sitcom premise, although no network sitcom would ever, ever let its lead dress like that. No wonder HR threw her out.

Yeah, it seems exactly the kind of series an ex programmer would write, so given that's my job I can't help but feeling curious. |

You know, judging from the cover, while the person generally does not look like her, "this person maintains all of our proprietary core business software, but is also a walking HR violation," is very much a real person that many of us working in tech have encountered too often. While this once would have resulted in a conversation about, "what will cost more, firing them and rebuilding, or the lawsuits they will cause?" nowadays, it would be solved with exiling the offender to a WFH position, with rules that only their direct management chain is to speak to them.

Must be nice to be able to achieve a level of importance like that, for a lot of us non-IT businesses are doing their very best to forget WFH was ever an option. I consider myself super lucky that my current job's in-office policy is a joke. |

As my sibling, who studied programming, puts it, if her boss did that, then he soon will reap what he sowed, taking into account just how well AI works.
