@audreygwinter @cstross That's "we want one employee we can hold accountable when it all goes to shit because management sure won't be."

@audreygwinter

You haven't even reached the underlying job listing, yet. (-:

@[email protected] @[email protected] Funny that you should ask. I went to the LinkedIn post, and there's a hyperlink there to the actual job listing on Microsoft's WWW site. It is patently LLM-written. The 'Responsibilities' section shouts that fact the loudest. https://careerhub.microsoft.com/careers/job/1970393556639051 Amusingly, for a job that deals in rewriting things in Rust, actual experience with that language is an optional requirement, whereas >= 6 years experience in Python or JavaScript fulfils the mandatory requirement. Mind you, job listings have been autocompleted using boilerplate, especially by recruitment agencies, for decades. @[email protected] #Microsoft #AI #LLMs #rustlang #BusinessBollocks #LinkedIn

@audreygwinter I think you misspelled "coprobabble" (as in, "babbling shit").
