Principal engineer at Big Tech paid to promote LLMs: "You know, I too was skeptical of the coding agents, but then I gave [our coding agent] the task to generate [our open source software whose entire codebase is on GitHub] and it spit out the code, which took human developers a year to produce, in one hour! If you do not learn how to [prompt LLMs to spit out what is in their training set] you are going to fall behind [and I won't be promoted]!"
