Coming Around to LLMs - I find them useful
TL;DR - I was once a skeptic of LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT but now I use them for what they are and nothing more and as a result I am far more productive than I was before.
Consider using them, playing around with them to see how they fit in your workflow, pay for them if needed or not. They’re not paying me to tell you this so if you do or do not I won’t be sad. :-)
There’s not much to say here, that’s pretty much it (Feel free to read on for more context though). Search is Google’s to lose. Just today I was reading Snowflake’s documentation on their access control setup and how it works.
And maybe it’s because it can synthesize the right string of words to “answer” a query I find it better at answering questions than finding the same answers from Google.
Probably. But I also don’t have time to waste scouring links, reading blogs and articles, combing through documentation. What I do have is – after more than a decade in tech – an idea of how something should work, what to look for, what to verify, what direction to go, how this backend service should be constructed, what “good” looks like and what LLMs help me do is take what I envision and get a skeleton up and running far faster and quicker.
