Kids, sure. University trained professional and paid like one? No.
- raverbashing 2y agoYou're having high expectations of the current batch of college graduates (and honestly it's not like the past graduates were much better, but they didn't have chatgpt)
- The_Colonel 2y agoA cynical take would be that the current market conditions allow you to filter out such college graduates and only take the better ones.
- solatic 2y agoAnd how do you propose filtering them out? There's a reason why college students are using LLMs, they're getting better grades for less effort. I don't assume you're proposing selecting students with worse grades on purpose?
- The_Colonel 2y agoI wouldn't hire based on grades. I think what the junior did is a reason to fire them (then you can try again with better selection practices). Not because they use code from LLMs, but that they don't even try to understand what it is doing. This says a lot about their attitude to programming.
- LastTrain 2y agoOne way to filter them out, relevant to this thread, would be to let them go if they brazenly turned in work they did not create and do not understand.
