After 30+ years in the software field, and a user for 40+, having at times heavily customized my desktop or editor, for example - I've concluded that the best thing for most apps is for me to learn to use them with stock settings. Why? Inevitably, I changed positions / jobs / platforms, and all that effort was lost / inapplicable, and I had to relearn to use the stock settings anyway. Now, I understand that some companies have different setups, but it might just make more sense to change the company's accounting procedures (if possible) to conform to most accounting software defaults, rather than invest heavily in modifying the setup, unless you're a huge conglomerate and can keep people on staff. Why? Because someone, somewhere will have to maintain those changes. Sure, you can then hire someone else to update those changes - but guess what? Most likely, unless they open-source their changes, no LLM will have seen those changes, and even if they are allowed to fine-tune on it, they'll have seen exactly ONE instance of these changes. Odds they'll get everything right, AND the person using the LLM will recognize when it doesn't go right? Oh right, they invested in hundreds of unit tests to ensure everything works as expected even with changes, and I'm the tooth fairy.. |
