If we’re aiming purely at reducing troubleshooting time then asking an LLM at the end of all those lengthy steps like reinstalling environment doesn’t make sense.
Even if they can only one shot solve 10% of the problems it makes sense to do that as a first line of attack since it’s fast and low effort and even the 30seconds it takes can be done concurrently with other troubleshooting.
I’d venture the solution is to keep the LLM as first step but to abandon it very fast if it doesn’t produce immediate results. People get stuck there and make it their main troubleshooting approach and never get to the engage brain part
- mystified5016 2y agoThat's more or less what I've been doing lately. It's great at first stage rubber ducking, and very occasionally my problem is common enough that it already has the solution in the database. Probably more than half the time I use the LLM to barf up the right keywords then search for the answer myself. Since my job right now is "try to cover for ten missing employees" it's been vital to staying productive. Along with a general focus on efficient processes, I've managed to get my workflow pretty fast.
