idk man, maybe it's just me but most devs/engineers nowadays are simple translators not true understanders. We're drifting away from a first-principles-based world toward prompt-to-slop engineering where the prompter can't even challenge the output lol. This fucking concerns me! Too many don't understand (or already forgot) how computers work. Ask them how program memory looks and you get nothing. They don't even try since they can always LLM it. IMHO true knowledge and _first principles_ build great things, everything else is temporary slop. My contrarian view is that in the age of LLMs you gain a real edge by not going down the slop engineering route.
