It sounds like you already had 20+ years of human made tooling already built and you use the llm to orchestration and onboarding.(?)
I’m glad you found a solution that works for you.
I could see that use case.
When I did consulting work the initial onboarding of new clients to my tooling was a lot drudge work, but I definitely felt my job was more about the work after that phase of satisfying requests for additional features, and updating out of date methods and technologies.
I wonder what your plans are for when your tools fall out of date or fail to satisfy some new normal?
Hire ”seasonal” programmers again? Or have an llm try to build analogues to what your developers built those precious 20+ years?
(‘precious’ was a typo of ‘previous’ but I left it in because I thought it was funny)
Well, it's one of my businesses so I will probably sell it. I have others which I like a lot more and they have more staying power (and are less bothered by AI, although it helps, but not enough yet; my favorite business is a business which does very urgent emergency software repairs: the current LLMs are way too hallucinatory for that ; it's wasting too much time and really solid tooling I haven't managed to build around it; you cannot imagine how terrible, and therefor unique/diverse, software around the world is).
