Gergely Orosz says engineers who refuse LLM use won't be hired

Gergely Orosz says modern software engineering is no longer done without LLMs and that people who refuse AI use won't be hired at 99.9% of startups, Big Tech and ambitious companies.

In an X post, he compares AI tools to the keyboard as a basic part of software development. He also quotes Geoffrey Huntley's view that teams too busy for normal work to experiment with AI are preparing to be replaced.

This is Orosz's own claim about hiring practice. The report does not include hiring data from those companies.
