It's huge force multiplier for people who have hands on, detailed technical knowledge as well.

3 * N < 42 * N

42 - 3 < N * (42 - 3)

It helps to know layer you're working on.

People seem to make mistake of thinking how good LLMs are around tasks that they are familiar with and extrapolating it to whole population.

It's good mental exercise to think about how little you can do compared to expert on tasks you never thought of working.

Ie. if you're programmer or know something about finance, don't think how much it enables you to do better coding or investing, think instead how much it doesn't enable you to work on something you don't know like maybe molecular biology or visual special effects – it's all there but it's much better multiplier for people who do know their shit.

Knowing layer you're working on helps a lot, it gets multiplied.

Knowing programming is becoming more fundamental skill than ever before as it lies at the foundation of almost everything else.
