LLMs can assist you to write a shitload of useless bloatware, or can assist you to take something existing and complicated, and create something minimal that is almost as good. It's up to you.

You can produce a shitload of useless bloatware and not come close to the bloated uselessness of a large-scale enterprise software platform.

  • Well, where I work these two trends are merging. Enterprise bloat plus LLM bloat. And leadership is "excited" about how much more code / applications IT can deliver this year

    • They should be! I think this is going to be a pretty transformational couple years for IT. To be honest, I've spent a bunch of my career being kind of skeptical about IT (software developer chauvinism), and I think the rug is getting pulled out from under that mentality.
