Cars turned us—one of the best species in long distance running into couch potatoes.

Now llms are attacking our brains and making us stupid and insane. A species of slopheads if you will.

Here's the scary part... The skill of developers has been for about 20 years: "look it up on stack overflow. Find a similar problem. Fix it to suit my environment."

But... No one is posting to stack overflow anymore. So LLMs have effectively become stack overflow.

I try to not let the skill atrophy by doing it the old way. Can't. The well is running dry.

What I will say is that LLMs make parsing logs a lot easier. So, doing things the old old fashioned way is still in the cards.

It's weird out here.
