I'm planning on changing jobs this year, and every single job employer wants to talk about LLM usage. As much as I want to refuse, Id rather say i tried it and found it to be mostly useless than say i havent even tried it at all.

Watching the terrible devs on my team just get worse faster was all i needed to see to know that avoiding it would be good for my career. With the true cost of these AI companies finally revealing itself, this summer will be very interesting
