The major flaw in his argument is his abject dismissal of personal experience. He gives all of about 2 sentences to the subject and fills the rest of the book with plausible sounding arguments that miss the point. He's either right or

The measure of bullshit in this field is promoting the term 'prompt engineering'. It's prompt futzing or prompt fiddling. There's no engineering involved.

Yeah I'll only give it tasks where it needs to spot patterns and do something obvious, and even then I'll check it make sure it hasn't just omitted random stuff just for shits and giggles. TBH I'm more surprised when I d

If it wasn't for this so-called "theatre", I'd have accidentally got on a plane with more than 50ml of toothpaste last week, and I'm sure I don't need to explain the damage that would have caused.

I'd like to learn more about ranking techniques, the bayesian approach mentioned in the intro as it pertains to this and other best practices. Can anyone recommend any resources please?

If you're expecting app/FE devs to have to learn it you're putting a ton of barriers in their way in terms of deploying. Just chucking a container on a non-k8s managed platform (e.g. Cloud Run) would be much simpler, and no p

Good luck fixing etcd when a major version upgrade breaks. It took all weekend to fight that fire when it happened to us.
