Yes exactly.

“Implement a first order lowpass filter in C”

LLM has no issue.

“Implement a string reversal function in Wren”

LLM proceeds to output an unholy mix of python and JavaScript.

Even though the second task is trivial compared to the first, LLMs have almost no training data on Wren (an obscure semi-dead language).

Hope are you finding work right now? Shits rough out here haha.

I’ve been an engineer for over a decade and am now having a hard time finding work because of this LLM situation so I can’t imagine how a fresh graduate must feel.

I agree, the terminology used gives it away.

Kinda hard to find jobs right now in the midst of all this but looking forward to the absolutely inevitable decade long cleanup.
