there are no 2 identical deployed ERP systems.

It's just an umbrella term for "weak process glue code".

I am such a dev (backend).

I'm working in a codebase of 200+ "microservices", separate repos, each deployed as multiple FaaS, CQRS-style. None of it my choice, everything precedes me, many repos I know nothing of. Little to no code re-use between them.

Any trace of "business logic" is so distributed in multiple repos, that I have no possible use of LLM codegen, unless I can somehow feed it ALL the codebase.

I've tried generating some tests, but they always miss the mark, as in the system under test is almost always the wrong one.

I guess LLM are cool for greenfield, but when the brownfield is really brown, there's no use for LLMs.

The problem is knowing the "when", or better yet choosing the "right" one. Don't ask me about these targets I have on my back.

Many times and in many orgs, the window to speak up opens too seldomly and it's barely cracked open...

I'm pretty sure this might be a hot take, but I believe we need some sort of a Tech Police.

We have Road Police, Financial Police, Mail Police, Work Safety Police, Military Police...

Great generalization of an entire country's sector workforce.

I'm sure you'd 100% approve of such a statement of your country when based on one anecdotal recount (even if it true).

"The hottest new programming language is English" - Karpathy

I call bullshit, mainly because any natural language is ambiguous at best, and incomplete at worst.

I only know C#'s async/await, and know nothing about goroutines / virtual or green threads.

You seem knowledgeable on the matter, care to share some resources that might help me grok the differences?
