After months of coding with LLMs, I'm going back to using my brain
I've been building MVPs and SaaS products for 15 years. Let's work together on your next project.
I was excited about the opportunity to make the most of all the new LLMs I'd been playing with, so I set aside my SWE hat and I started acting as a product manager, chatting with Claude about best practices, doing some research on my own and then coming up with a plan, after many back and forths. And while I haven’t tried every single combination of tools, agentic workflows, etc, I remain confident in my statement.If you don’t believe me, try being someone with no prior knowledge of Clickhouse, asking an LLM to write a complicated query involving multiple 100M+ rows tables, without triggering memory errors, on a server with limited RAM. To make it all worse, I feel like we’re constantly being gaslighted by benchmarks, by influencers who can now sell you this new magic shovel, and by a flurry of companies that are trying to convince us that it’s an “agent” and definitely not just another cron job.
