    They were also using who-knows-what LLMs in a biotech context when we have specific regulations against using general use/commercially-available LLMs. We have rules against that for IP and HIPAA reasons. I’m genuinely baffled at how they didn’t get into Big Trouble for that.

      The landscape has shifted dramatically with the promise of big profits from higher productivity / labour cost reduction. Corpos used to be pretty strict with policies against putting proprietary code anywhere external. Now it’s all like - yeah shove it in all these third parties’ mouths, including sometimes competitors, it’ll be part of your perf review. It’s crazy. I don’t think any of this is going back to the previous posture. The profit growth promise is too great.

        Hey, if they want to give me a deeply stupid metric to achieve and tie it to comp - like, oh I don’t know, SLOC, or token usage - I am perfectly happy to game that system. And I have done in the past.

          I think I’ll have to start that soon. Apparently teaching and leading a bunch of juniors to deliver better than their pay grade isn’t as valuable. I guess they think they can get rid of the juniors and have me do the same with cuckoding.
