What are you basing this statement on? The code comments read very human to me. Your the one hurting their chances of finding a job by falsely saying this.

I'd hire an undergraduate who can produce this level of work with Claude.

Likewise. When we talk about being able to use AI tooling to do cool things, this is the type of thing that comes to mind.

Every company they apply to will be leveraging LLMs. Time to get over it. No need to be grumpy old man about such things. Every generation has faced such foes. The old always yields to the new.

You can’t vibe code a production capable C compiler if you’ve never written one.

Sure, companies are asking for LLM experience. But whether they know it or not they are also hiring someone who knows what they’re doing with the output.

Projects like this are still worth doing by hand. I’d dare say it’s even enjoyable.

I don't disagree with you. I just don't think it's particularly charitable for a presumably seasoned developer to not only go out of their way to accuse some junior of using LLMs but then declare that this obviously makes them unemployable.
