One of the rare comments here that is not acid spewing rage against AI. I too went from "copying a few lines to save some time" and having to recheck everything to several hundred lines working out of the box.

I get it. I was a huge skeptic 2 years ago, and I think that's part of the reason my company asked me to join our emerging AI team as an Individual Contributor. I didn't understand why I'd want a shitty junior dev doing a bad job... but the tools, the methodology, the gains.. they all started to get better.

I'm now leading that team, and we're not only doing accelerated development, we're building products with AI that have received positive feedback from our internal customers, with a launch of our first external AI product going live in Q1.

What are your plans when these AI companies collapse, or start charging the actual costs of these services?

Because right now, you're paying just a tiny fraction of what it costs to run these services. And these AI companies are burning billions to try to find a way to make this all profitable.

These tools are mostly determistic applications following the same methodology we've used for years in the industry. The development cycle has been accelerated. We are decoupled from specific LLM providers by using LiteLLM, prompt management, and abstractions in our application.

Losing a hosted LLM provider means we prox6 litellm to something out without changing contracts with our applications.
