@petrillic I cannot tell if this is a shitpost or not but it's a thought I had, so, here you go:

senior engineers are a positive externality of an engineering process. the intellectual capital that accumulates in a senior engineer's brain can walk out the door at any time.

positive externalities represent uncaptured value, which is to say, reduced profit.

it is therefore the fiscal duty of any steward of a public company to prevent this process with LLMs.
