I hate to tell you, but you are doing it wrong If infrastructure is shared it doesn't mean you have more rights to pass than pedestrian. Moreover, bell as a way to warn doesn't work. Because pedestrians will mostly get startled be

while this is technically correct, difference is that your product won't survive without openai at this point. If you need the model quality openai provides you are stuck and your product can just disappear. Because llm is core buildin

I guess it depends on what you do and your goals. It might be not necessary to do average developers job (and full disclosure, it wasn't necessary 10 years ago as well). But understanding fundamentals gives you insights to be better pr

their point is simple: during the last 20-30 years we had efficiency improvements by orders of magnitude. Still we didn't have developers jobs reduction in any way. We evolved into doing more and more high-level and high-scale jobs. So
