> Engineers who refuse to, or can't, or won't utilize the benefits that LLMs bring will be left behind. It's just the way it is. I'm already seeing it happening.
Any examples how you see some engineers being left behind?

I don't know where you live, but around where I live in Denmark you'd fail for not using AI at a senior interview in a lot of places. Even places which aren't exactly AI fans use AI to some extend.
The biggest challenge we face right now is figuring out how you create developers who have enough experience to know how to use the AI tools in a critical manner. Especially because you're typically given agents for various taks, which are already configured to know how we want things to be written.
Additionally there are the AI targets set by C suites based on what everyone is saying on TV, and what we can actually deliver based on the available data sets, integration points, and naturally those sign offs for data governance, and hallucinations guardrails.

If you can’t interview without immediately reaching for an LLM you are considered unfit to work here.
It is anecdotal for sure, but it's a pattern that seems to be emerging around me that expectations of velocity increases, and those who don't use AI can't keep up.
Kind of.... I don't know. To get placed such requirements from the top down and not fight back, just take it head on, not even maliciously, don't even oppose it on a technical basis, just be like "yeah, you've now gotta ship faster or you're left behind, so therefore LLMs must be the future!", no critical thought attached. Is this shit coming from experienced engineers?
Preposterous we're relying on "it's better because I feel like", "dudes who don't use it are falling behind at work", "they ask for it in job interviews".
