But how do you know that? (And no I'm not shocked by this statement, it's just odd to say it with conviction.)

Fair.

Exactly, thank you. I'm much more interested in how systems interact gracefully, addressing failure modes and building for resiliency/scale.

Do you need good quality code to do that? Sure, but that's just another line-item on the laundry list of things to make it happen.

I know Google SREs who do feature development on the infrastructure support they support alongside their devs.

There's nothing unique about junior SREs. They're replaceable with almost any "vanilla Dev". You don't really build a unique experience or expertise until Senior+.

I'll probably get downvoted for this but: At 15 YoE, hell no.

Day-to-day coding lost it's allure to me about 3-4 years ago; it's just a means to an end. I think AI came at the right time for me.

AI is already pretty good at this in "SRE" workflows.

And half decent at this.

If you're talking about track record, Argon had the same sort of announcement and was released.

What's vaporware? They announced Argon and it was publicly launched a month later. Same with the previous models.

I'm confused. So you just completely pirate all your games?

The audience wasn't that close.

Nah, this ain't it chief. I own exactly 0 directly. Too volatile and don't really care for Teslas at all. I love my gas cars.

Okay that's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while since the rockets landing.

Car looks half decent too.

Ask your mom/dad or non-technical GenZ college going son/daughter to use your `local LLM with voice interaction and fine-tuning` setup long-term.

People don't care about privacy. They want something that just works.
