Funny that you should ask. I went to the LinkedIn post, and there's a hyperlink there to the actual job listing on Microsoft's WWW site.

It is patently LLM-written. The 'Responsibilities' section shouts that fact the loudest.

Amusingly, for a job that deals in rewriting things in Rust, actual experience with that language is an optional requirement, whereas >= 6 years experience in Python or JavaScript fulfils the mandatory requirement.

Mind you, job listings have been autocompleted using boilerplate, especially by recruitment agencies, for decades.

The downside is that that article itself, as noted by Hacker News readers, has many of the hallmarks of being produced by an LLM. Or at least being down at the LinkedIn post level of writing. There's not even a scale on the Y axis of the graph.
