If your profile mentions languages like "Java" or "React".
Please update it.
No one cares about the programming language you use anymore.
Spend your time engineering.
You are a software engineer. You can create applications in any langauge.
With the help of agents, you don't need to learn the specific langauge.
Some people try to hide their incompetence behind "reliability" and "scale".
Skill issue. Google and Amazon are heavily using AI. Their applications scale enormously.
And they are all moving to AI.
For good reason.
We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:
Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:
Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:
Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:
Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!
In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.
@myntra@MyntraSupport,
I have an order ongoing and just was about to get delivered tomorrow. I logged in and found out that my account is suspended for some security reasons.
It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! https://t.co/qaCgfmkW0u
Yesterday's AIs ate the Internet and became a patchwork mediocrity.
Today's AI hunts and feasts upon the Mozarts, Einsteins, and Shakespeares of our age.
To birth a gang of ghostly geniuses that write our code, drive our cars, do our work, and run our world.
