@vampiress@eigenmagic.net In my work domain (I'm a data analyst, mostly by writing SQL) I am yet to see anything to suggest that LLMs can do the things I'm usually doing. Perhaps that's because what is "usual" for me comes from being asked to do things that no-one seems to have already done. So even though people assume that "data analysis" is about plugging data into existing tools, for me that is rarely the case - and this is why your description of using LLMs for prototyping also rings true for my coding.

    @geraldew@fosstodon.org @vampiress@eigenmagic.net all software done right is solving novel problems. If you are repeating yourself you want to genericize or framework it. Code gen. Whatever. The novel solution endures without decay over time and is able to be reproduced into other contexts.
