It’s not that I don’t trust the judgement of people who are super excited about LLMs. It’s more that many of the people whose judgement I already didn’t trust happen to be super excited about LLMs.

I’m looking forward to the end of this hype cycle. Hopefully something of value will remain.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build:

1. Heroku, except hand-rolled
2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence
3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith
4. A solution to the halting problem

* Hyperbole. I hope

The best type of Prompt Engineer is one that turns up to meetings on time.
