Also I have no idea why npm is worse offender than most?

I think it's because JavaScript devs have a more promiscuous culture of code reuse than most. In what other language community would something like left-pad justify being its own package?

You gotta have some mechanism to let low performers go.

That's called "firing for cause."

Of course, that actually has accountability attached to it. Misusing layoffs for that purpose is an end-run around that accountability, which is why sociopathic corporations prefer it.

Implementing additional forms of wankery in the "Metaverse".

If a company does layoffs, they should not be allowed to hire any staff in the same or similar roles for 12 months.

Either that, or the laid-off workers should get right of first refusal for the positions. (Along with some additional incentive for the company not to game it.)

Right, and that's what's going to have to change: a bigger focus on things like in-person tests (including in-person bluebook essays), oral presentations/thesis defenses instead of other project deliverables, etc.

¿Por que no los dos?

Before you can punish for using LLMs, you need to be able to reliably detect the use of LLMs, including guarding against false positives.

You can tell they're using an LLM if they have a computer out during the pen-and-paper test.

"Mildly" only because I'm pretty sure it's already illegal. Still, fucking absurd that they even have the gall to try.
