"Because people that enjoy programming for programming's sake don't want an LLM to do the programming for them - isn't it obvious? "

How do we filter out these people during an interview?

View on HN

Offer low pay and start using lines of code as a metric. Not only will you not hire such people, you'll also filter out any who might already be on your team!

(Assuming "these people" is a euphemism for "skilled engineers")

why would you want to filter these people out? surely those that consider programming more than just a "means to an end" are going to be much more valuable employees, consider they are much more likely to be skilled at their craft? im genuinely interested in why you'd want to filter these people out!

I want to find people who have already had all their passions and emotions stamped out by the endless grind already, so that they will tell an AI to do what I tell them for 996 without complaint. These people who "care" about things just get in the way and want time off and such.

That is genuinely gross, I'm assuming it's just ragebait or something haha who actually thinks like this!
