How much should an LLM do for you?

I’ve started experimenting with using LLMs to help me build software. One of the first things I did was to watch the video of Llewellyn Falco’s talk about using process files as blueprints for Agentic AI, from Craft Conference 2025. >>>

When you accidentally start icing poo emojis and then just run with it... 💩🧁

Plates of vanilla and chocolate cupcakes in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and pink cases. Each has chocolate icing on top which looks just like the poo emoji.

My thoughts exactly when I read that as a headline. Why are things so badly named in tech? I think people just like to make it sound fancy for their CV.

A recent study showed that developers thought using #AI had made them 20% more productive, but actually it had made them 19% LESS productive.

I can help. Look out for my trainings coming up this year, or get in touch to book a private training for your team. jcq.me/train

You know your boss has been using #LLMs too much when... A messenger conversation says: Boss: Today I want you to take on the role of a data architect and work out how to fix the problems withe the slow data retrieval from the main database. Me: But I'm a front-end developer. Boss: thumbs-down

Today is apparently World Productivity Day. So just a reminder to you all that productivity does not mean doing all-the-things. Productivity is making some progress on the things (or thing) that are important in your current season.

Be kind to yourself.
