Hot take on LLMs: they exist largely because humanity has failed at systems engineering. We keep producing half-baked standards with too much room for interpretation. Then we ship new fixed versions with backward compatibility. Then another standard appears And the cycle repeats over and over

Thousands of frameworks. Thousands of incompatible APIs. Auth systems full of foot-guns. CLIs nobody remembers how to use. We can’t seem to build tools that are as simple as going to an LLM and saying: "I need you to do this"

And LLMs won’t fix this - they’ll make it worse. “Our LLM rewrote a C compiler” “Our LLM built a new browser” Even if that software eventually becomes usable, it’s still just another pile added to the mess we already have
