I hope I'm not the only one who think that a solid test suite for your project has proven more important than ever.
That's the wall crappy AI-generated PRs can't climb over.

Upsides of not relying on ChatGPT for doing my work: when it’s down I can keep doing my work 👍🏻 (which, given the current trajectory of cloud providers reliability, is a relevant bonus).

I agree but ideally people would try to come in for the same 2 to 3 days
Points I found interesting:
allowing hybrid (eg 2-3 days/wk) seems best. Employees valued it like 8% more pay; and it reduced quit rates 35% with no impact on performance. References in slide deck I QT'd
