Delighted to announce I'm speaking at #LambdaConf 2024—twice! The first one, “The Cutting Edge of Versioning”, ranges all over: sociology, type systems, programming languages (TypeScript, Rust, Elm, Unision, and more), and evolving code! youtu.be/f8BpuQ9LYNs

"LLMs are not repositories of knowledge or facts. The model might be able to regurgitate some of an article or book, but not in any consistent or reliable way - it’s not a database. The data is there as grains of sand to build the Great Pyramid. "

There's this evergreen joke on software development that goes something like this:

"We're done with 90% of the project. Which means we only have the other 90% left to go."

It's funny because it's true. It's also why experienced engineers are in-demand: they are the "finishers."

AI tools: not now.
