Doctors do not use the stethoscope and the scalpel everywhere, but they employ countless diagnostic tools and intervention techniques to perform their duties. Lawyers have many substantive and procedural tools, reserving law suits as the last-resort option. Engineers, EEs for instance, use many tools and techniques besides the multimeter and the FFT. In all these regulated, licensed professions, the professionals use both their skills and their knowledge.

In however, are indentured servants of LLM and are but afternoon snacks for Python.🤷‍♂️

    The strange thing about —McCarthy, Minsky, Steele, Sussman, Friedman, Dybvig, and tonnes of others—is that they all seemed to have been born with fully developed and brains.

    Or perhaps habitually thinking and working in this language turned them into such “aliens”.

    Or both?🤔
