My bad, I meant for this to come off more funny than snarky. Appreciate the check.

EDIT: Upon finishing reading the other comments on this article though...I feel a bit singled out. :)

Definitely not singling you out! probably the other comments were posted later, or I didn't see them for some other reason.
Didn’t seem snarky to me. Seemed pointed.

In a world where everyone is using LLMs, the only way to differentiate oneself is to actually think. I don’t know if this is part of the idea behind having some in-house philosophers but it would be interesting.

It's mechanical turks all the way down?
Time for the regular posts on "how do I transition from senior software engineer to philosopher?"
Buy a lantern and start holding it up to your coworkers’ faces saying you’re looking for a good coder
It carries the danger of one of your coworkers responding "What makes a coder good?" and stealing the promotion, though.
