Your management presumably cares more about results, than your long term cognitive decline?

To quote myself:

You are talking about productivity, I'm talking about knowledge. You may come-up with a product, then fire all engineers having built it. Then, what? It's not sustainable for a business to start from scratch every other year. Your LLM won't be a substitute for owning your product.
i guess one of the questions is how quick cognitive decline sets it and how it influences system stability (we have big system with very high sla due to nature of system and it takes some serious cognitive abilities to reason about it operation).
if todays productivity is traded for longer term stability, i am not sure that it's a risk they would like to take

Good of you to suppose that engineers cognitive decline doesn't translate into long term impactful business challenges as well. I mean, once you truly don't know your product and its capabilities any longer, what's left for you to "sell"?
