The "fungible" point sounds as though the "cattle, not pets" ethos of the infrastructure management has leaked into the management of the staff.

Always has been, IT has been resisting due to (as pointed out in the article) institutional knowledge required, but this is now going away as LLMs can efficiently and accurately write it down and search it. Meta turning ICs into data labelers is trying to make knowledge workers fungible; expect others to follow.
"Trying" being the operator.
Meta can get its Sysiphus on all it likes; whether or not genius pours forth remains to be seen.
I hope they fail obviously, but I have to respect the exponential they’re betting on.
