I did like the (short) LLM-free part of my career. The bait-and-switch refers specifically to the changes due to the introduction of LLMs. Any career where LLMs don't play a big role would not have been a bait-and-switch.

That said, I don't understand the point of "what if nothing ever works out for you?"-type questions. What do you expect me to answer here? That I'm secretly a wizard and with the flick of my magic wand I'll make something work out?

The majority of the questions I ask are delivered with the hope that the answer I get is beyond what I might expect. For me, that's sort of the point in asking - fun times exploring together.

I do think everything can be seen as bait and switch if you assume there is someone behind the wheel who knows where we are going and how to drive. If anything, I might have been suspecting we'd both arrive at that point together.

Again, was hoping to be surprised a bit. The wizard bit was kinda fun. Mild thanks, human. I'll just be over here beating this tech over the head for kicks. I wish you well!
