We are beyond the point of trying to convince naysayers.

I will simply not hire anybody who is not good at using LLMs, and I don't think I would ever work with anybody who thinks they aren't very useful. It's like working with somebody who things compilers are useless. Obviously wrong, not worth spending time trying to convince.

To anyone who reads this article and disagrees with the central point: You are missing the most important thing that will happen in your career. You should reevaluate because you will be unemployable in a few years.

I don't think most people with mixed feelings in LLMs (or heretic naysayers as you put it) would want to work in a place like that, so perhaps you are doing everyone a favour!

It reminds me of many of the people I worked with early in my career.

They were opposed to C++ (they thought C was all you need), opposed to git (they used IBM clearcase or subversion), opposed to putting internal tools in a web browser (why not use Qt and install the tool), opposed to using python or javascript for web services (it's just a script kiddie language), opposed to sublime text/pycharm/vscode (IDEs are for people who don't know how to use a CLI).

I have encountered it over and over, and each time these people get stuck in late career jobs making less than 1/3 of what most 23 year old SWEs I know are making.

They were probably also opposed to some other things that failed.

But then hindsight is 20/20.

Yes, but honestly, I was this way at the beginning of my career, and I can't think of any examples of things I was right about.

My most successful "this is doomed to fail" grouchiness was social media games (like Farmville).

But I just can't think of any examples in the dev tooling space.
