First person in my social circles who was a senior engineer got laid off and now they came back begging because the new hires are misusing LLMs and breaking things but he was using them properly and shipping fast.

PROBLEM EXISTS BETWEEN KEYBOARD AND CHAIR

stop blaming the LLMs

@feld from a business standpoint if LLMs don't allow experienced workers to be replaced with disposable serfs than all the money being thrown into the dumpster-fire is a waste.

@gabe @feld what kind of business are you running

@lain
I'm just saying the 'logic' behind replacing senior engineers with newbs + AI is going to be disastrous in the long run.
@feld Isn't at all wrong that these tools have value, but as he points out that's not really what's driving the stock mania around it.

@gabe @feld there will be replacing of keyboard-to-code engineers, just as hand spining was replaced by the spinning jenny.

@lain @gabe I think we have yet to absorb the reality that young people can't type. They just never learned to touch type.

Keyboards are a slog for them.

They simply don't have the muscle memory because they haven't spent thousands of hours on a real keyboard.

It might as well be considered a disability when compared to older millennials and gen X
