I view LLMs as a trade of competence plus quality against time. Sure, I’d love to err on the side of pure craft and keep honing my skill every chance I get. But can I afford to do so? Increasingly, the answer is “no”: I have precious little time to perform each task at work, and there’s almost no time left for side projects at home. I’ll use every trick in the book to keep making progress. The alternative - pure as it would be - would sacrifice the perfectly good at the altar of perfection.
