> In a sense, using an LLM agent is like providing instructions to a very smart, very quick junior who despite being brilliant has some blind spots and lacks institutional knowledge. That's something that seniors excel at, so by firing your seniors you've fired the people best positioned to make full use of LLMs.

aye.

I've posted this here at HN several times but I had my intern try to track down how many CVEs from a list of vulns we found were being exploited in the wild -- couple years ago, pre mythos that is. I also took the list to Copilot and Claude.

All 3 got different answers, albeit off by one or two. The intern told me at least he didn't know about X, which was far more useful. I later had him whip up a plan and some basic code to patch some of them, and the experience comparing his answer to Copilot was similar to before as well -- both mostly worked, but didn't, and in different ways, and mostly due to not knowing institutional best practices.
