Jacob Herrington (not verified proceed with caution) ⚠️ @jacobherrington.dev · Oct 23
Bsky intro time:

I’m a mostly-self-taught dev. For years, I worked as a senior engineer in the startup world.

Now, I’m building my own startup applying LLMs to a “boring” space broken by compliance and organizational knowledge loss.

I love food, shitposting, and tattoos.

As someone building an LLM heavy product to solve real problems, totally agree with what I read

I’m not an LLM fanboy, but I can see that the tool does fit SOME problems
