I think the role of llm’s is once you have a rich enough understanding of what you want - you can speed run to build it. And then perhaps re-build to cover the issues created by the llm.

Problem for model producers is - the revenues they get from this mode of work is tiny relative to what they need.

“ AI can clearly accelerate us. But we need to be disciplined in how we use it,”

Therein lies the paradox. And the problem is, interacting with llm’s is akin to a slot machine.

And on top of that, llm producers want you to view it that way - that’s how they generate revenue and can play games

I’m a former PM who’s now a founder and all the engineers I worked with loved me.

I can tell you right now most pm’s are absolutely useless and glorified project managers who don’t know how to think and get in the way - and don’t know how to enable engineers to be more productive.

lol

Just lol. Is this what you guys mean by productivity boost?

Comical. LLM’s aren’t all that great - it’s more that most orgs are horribly inefficient. Like it’s amazing how bad they are.

That’s why Elon succeeded with spacex - he saw how horrible inefficient the industry was. And used that thinking to take a gamble and it’s paid off.

Can someone pull that Steve jobs quote out re. The craftsmanship between a great idea and great product?

Anyone who thought that gap could be shrunk substantially lives in delululand.

Hence why we haven’t seen this explosion of ‘really great’ products come out.

Many will continue to parrot ‘bro but the models changed I swear’. I’m sure they did. But you’re missing the damn point.
