What is the "grunt work"? I think there's a difference of opinion with the commenters. :) The work is, among other things: * Writing components * Writing glue * Requirements gathering * Architectural design * Testing Which parts are the grunt work depends on the individual. Personally, writing components was the most challenging, least grunt work job there was. Requirements and design was the next most fun, but not really very challenging. Writing glue and testing was grunt work--had to get done, but was mind-numbing. As one of my friends put it, "Beej, writing software was never the goal." I might counter that managing LLMs was never the goal, either, so we'll get to see where that leads.
