Focussing on the inner workings of them may well end up being a type of programming you don’t enjoy: endless tweaking of parameters and running experiments. Learning to work with the outputs of them (which is what I do) can be much more rewarding. Building apps based around generative outputs, working with latency and token costs and rate limits as constraints, writing evals as much as you write tests, RAG systems and embeddings etc.
