The author is a Principal Engineer at DeepSeek. I don't know what that title maps to in other organizations. Their formal education/background is in ML however.

There's a lot of stuff the dev team can do that are not strictly business decisions though. Rate limits, QoS, etc.

The information density of the average LLM response is much much lower than my coworkers' responses to my questions.

Whats the endgame here? Is the story of LLMs going to be a perpetual cat and mouse game of prompt engineering due to its lack of debuggability? Its going to be _very hard_ to integrate LLMs in sensitive spaces unless there are reasonable as

I don't feel like debating the predictability of any individual bug is in the spirit of the argument that I'm making here, which is just that software systems (absent formal verification + running in a completely isolated vacuum)

Time commitments were generally aggressive but reasonable with a 10-20% buffer to account for ramp up (realistically closer to 10 than 20). The reasonable-ness of most things eng-culture related at Amazon is probably a function of the compe
