If you provide sources, provide the sources the LLM found for you after checking them yourself. Otherwise the recipient will have to vet them. Slight rant: I’ve started to get a bit fed up with people antrhopomorphizing these things, it’s u

Because engineers don’t decide on hiring and firing. The managers all have KPIs to transform the org into AI-native. This is the kind of behavior that organizations encourage right now.

There’s a heuristic I’ve been using to pick which model to use. The provider is already chosen by my org so what I do is activate the model picker in my harness, select the most expensive model’s latest version and set it on the highest eff

Reviewing LLM code is quite different from junior code. With juniors you tread carefully and give feedback only on important points to encourage growth. With LLMs you channel the inner sailor and nitpick so much that even a senior would sta
