I'll just say that assuming this policy excludes vulnerability/pen testing like Mozilla with Mythos then this is seriously going to be an extremely naive PR (public relations) only move. Obviously actual programmers not bot laziness for coding is essential for software people rely on and I get allowing vibe coding also destroys programmer (and general LLM user's) brains but to keep up with our now LLM real world reality you need to be realistic not just virtue signalling for purity.

Nah, it's really not necessary. I'm senior dev at a large software company you've absolutely heard of and I'm just as productive as my colleagues who use LLMs. My tasks usually take fewer PRs as well, since there are fewer bugs that need to be fixed.

I still don't understand why people are foaming at the mouth about LLMs. They're fucking awful at writing software.

I still don’t understand why people are foaming at the mouth about LLMs. They’re fucking awful at writing software.

That's because you appear to actually have the skills required for your job.

Of course it's not necessary. I'm a way-beyond-senior dev who laughed at LLMs up until a few months ago when trusted friends, whose competence is not in question, told me they got good usage out of them.

I decided to challenge my convictions and sat down and took the time to learn how to use LLM assistants (I tried everyting from full vibe coding to manual gatekeeping of suggestions).

Now I use them for my own personal projects, and I'm much more productive (for various reasons - but one is that the initial friction of oh yet another thing I have to learn just to do X is much lower. I have no boss telling me what to do, and I select my projects myself. If they didn't bring any benefits I wouldn't use them.
