I don't think that's a good analysis. If the LLM is wrong and gives you a wrong medical diagnosis you end up hurting your health. If an LLM gives you a wrong debugging answer you'v…

I did it and he "fixed" it with AI, making him even more convinced of it. I'm pretty sure something else must have broken but didn't see it immediately. I guess eventually it will …

I've working on a small side project with a non technical friend for a couple months. It's really small but we are selling it to some clients. The other day my friend discovered lo…

Most of the interesting positions I find hire only in the US but it's because they are for bigger companies (more than 500 employees). I will have to target smaller ones.
