Can we get a video of a workday conducted by these people?

Unless there's a significant sense of what people are working on, and how LLMs are helping -- there's no point engaging -- there's no detail here.

Sure, if your job is to turn out tweaks to a wordpress theme, presumably that's now 10x faster. If its to work on a new in-house electric motor in C for some machine, presumably that's almost entirely unaffected.

No doubt junior web programmers working on a task backlog, specifically designed for being easy for juniors, are loving LLMs.

I use LLMs all the time, but each non-trivial programming project that has to move out of draft-stage needs rewriting. In several cases, to such a degree that the LLM was a net impediment.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but >>44159166 from today is not a junior web programmer working through the backlog, and the commit history contains all the prompts.
