alt Hacker NewsSo, in essence, my added value is translating the vaque demands of my clients into as efficient as system as can be.
Can the AI do it? Not yet I think. Maybe someday, for now I feel like clients of mine simply have the vocabulary, nor the mental models, to guide the LLMs. Ie, they have no idea of what one-to-many is, or why it's smart to put some information in separate tables, whereas some information is ok to filter row-based on a user attribute, etc.
I guess my trick is that mostly I'm my own customer. I'm a late stage career expert in netcode, so I pretty much have this long list of things I've been wanting to create for 20-30 years now... I'm still working through this, and each new thing I make, it creates 2-3 new ideas to explore! It's fun times :)
