After several months of umm-ing and ahh-ing, I handed in my notice at work this week. If anyone knows of a Canadian company looking to hire a remote senior web developer who will NOT be working on LLM-related functionality (or be required to use LLM-based development tools), please point me in their direction. I've got 15 years of experience and love getting my teeth into technical problems. Boosts most welcome. Thanks! #getfedihired

@astrovore Jeets are cheaper and will do what is asked of them. Is this a good thing? no but, its basically slave labor.

@astrovore The “no LLM” part is hard these days. I dislike it but I’m basically forced to use it. One in every three words from my CEO is AI 🤦‍♂️

@astrovore If you find one of those who needs a tech support geek, fire that link my direction if you please?

@astrovore David, as a fellow developer, I'm curious about your stance on LLMs in regard to using LLM based dev tools. I *do* effectively use them as an autocomplete like feature, where I use it to build out the scaffold for something I need to write, but at no point does it get anywhere near a final product. I find it saves me a lot of time, but not brainpower. I'm of course not required to use those tools, but our whole team has adopted that basic approach of it being just another tool, used wisely. I'd love to hear your thoughts as well.
