| I love LLMs. I love the doom and gloom. Why? It’s a giant filter. Because all the clueless people in the room see it as doom to software engineers, because they have no real skills, and can’t think for themselves - and because of this they don’t understand the pros/cons/trade-offs of the tool that is an LLM. And so, they give up on their career or study something else, and no longer crowd the market. Win for me. These are the same people that would have feared: the mouse when it was released, GUIs when they became the norm, the internet, low-code, no-code, WYSIWYG editors, and crypto. LLMs are massively overhyped, someone who knows their stuff that has used them daily would know that. And they would understand how to wield them. I’m not worried about my career at all. In fact, I’m doubling down hard on software. Tripling down even. I’m learning as broad as I can, and as deep as I can where I care to. If you know computer science fundamentals, computer architecture, and system design you are untouchable. Go touch grass! |
