Geoffrey Litt on how he uses LLMs to code like a surgeon:
A surgeon isnβt a manager, they do the actual work! But their skills and time are highly leveraged with a support team that handles prep, secondary tasks, admin. The surgeon focuses on the important stuff they are uniquely good at.
Anil Dash on most people in the tech industry, who actually build things, share the same feelings on AI:
Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way theyβve been over-hyped, the fact theyβre being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value.
Alex Martsinovich on why itβs rude to show AI output to people:
For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading. If you encountered a body of written text, you could be sure that at the very least, a human spent some time writing it down. The text used to have an innate proof-of-thought, a basic token of humanity.
