Where I’m At
To date, I’ve been somewhere between an AI skeptic and a hater. In my opinion, the hype is far greater than the reality of what a Large Language Model (LLM) is capable of doing. Thaat doesn’t mean I think they are useless, but I get tired of the hyperbole on both sides. At the time I’m writing this, there are some newer models that look more promising. I’m still not convinced that AI is a “real” innovation and not an over-hyped novelty yet, but I acknowledge the fact I probably should start ramping up with it in case it goes mainstream.
Concerns
- Employers are going to expect technical employees to understand and apply AI tools for their daily work
- A productivity gap will develop between those you can leverge AI well vs. those who aren’t using it
- If I don’t start becoming proficient with AI tools I will fall behind within the next 6-12 months
Things I Find Interesting
-
CLI interfaces for AI platoforms
- Gemini
- Claude Code
Succeses
- I’ve used Gemini CLI to help build a new template for my 1:1 meetings
