A dev on my team was trying to get us to setup OpenClaw, harping on about how it would make our lives easier etc, etc. (even though most of the team was against the idea due to the security issues and just not thinking it would be worth it).

Their example use case was for it to read and summarize our Slack alerts channel to let us know if we had any issues by tagging people directly... the Slack channel is populated by our monitoring tools that also page the on-call dev for the week.

The kicker... this guy was the on-call dev that week and had just been ignoring the Slack channel, emails and notifications he was getting!

The notification summaries are OK most of the time and down right bad the rest! I'm currently working my notice period and a coworker messaged to say they where sad I was leaving the company and enjoyed working with me etc. Apple Intelligence decided the best summary of this message notification was: "News of [Me] passing received, expresses well wishes"

You're also biasing towards the type of person who is ok with either burning themselves out or skiving off work (or both) to get good at these types of interviews.

I had a colleague at a previous job who would, without fail leave reviews on only the implementation of the tests during a review. Which normally I would appreciate as testing is usually neglected but they where almost always minor nitpick style suggestions or comments (which often revealed they didn't understand the business logic / code changes being made). But as showing you proactively contributed during reviews was part of the framework for promotion they needed to show they had made suggestions rather than ask for clarification on features etc.
