I don’t know your company but this thinking doesn’t necessarily follow logically. In a large company the value of developers is not distributed evenly across people and time, and also has a strong dependency on market realities in front of them.

While it’s true that lots of companies are getting some value out of LLMs, a much larger number are using them as an excuse for layoffs they would have wanted to do anyway—LLMs are just a golden opportunity to tie in an unmitigated success narrative.

It's a simple formula. Layoffs because of market conditions or company health = stock price go down. Layoffs because "AI took the jobs" = stock price go up.
