Just abandon the LC model. It was always crap to begin with. The most important skills you want from a developer aren't even tested in LC style evaluation. With LLMs as a tool it's more meaningless than ever.

- Maintenance

- Migrations

- Real-world edge cases

- Non-functional requirements: eg latency, performance, cost of operations, security

- Compliance

- Tech debt

... and most importantly: people!! (collaboration, conflicts, ownership etc etc)

No need to be large. Small startup here. 18 months code base (started before AI coding agents were good).
Super useful for tooling and new stuff.
Marginal on existing.
However, it still boost productivity the combo w/ generative (e.g debugging & questions) & writing in different langs.

An example: a large tech company (thousands of devs) got a Cursor license for all devs to use.

They checked in a few months later, and ~half the devs stopped using it. Just wasn't as useful *inside the company* This is a "top" tech co!
