LLMs ain’t gonna replace programmers any time soon (they might get us laid off, but they’re not going to do our jobs no matter how much executives want them to), but they seem to have already replaced executives, though sadly without the laying off part.
It’s becoming more and more evident that these extremely harmful idiots (including CEOs and whatnot) have completely outsourced all their decision making and what little thinking they used to do onto LLMs.
We’re being ruled by vegetables parroting hallucinating autocomplete engines.
Looks like they’re replacing parts of the hiring process, too. Nearly every single job description and recruiter message looks AI-generated, my resume is at the mercy of some HR algorithm, and who knows what they’re cooking up for actual interviews.
But they still expect us to specially craft an individual resume and cover letter for each job we apply to? With all this corporate wordsmithing that only ever applies to writing those resumes? Fuck that. Hey ChatGPT, here’s a job posting, match it up with my resume and generate a friendly cover letter. The whole process has become so formulaic with corporate-speak that whatever LLMs spit out are way better than anything we’d be able to come up with on our own.
Sales guy didn’t say working, safe, secure, maintainable or at least of average quality code; just that it’s faster. The thing to watch with sales peeps is all the things they don’t say.

But the sales guy said that a programmer using their copilot technology will program at 10x speed. So I guess we can fire 10% to pay for it.

That’s been the case since MBAs in leadership positions have been a thing. They only swapped out the external business analyst consultants with LLMs.
