The ease with which OpenAI has made these powerful LLMs available. Even fine tuning is just a command away. I see more SWEs developing indie apps using this. Even though they have no clue how it works. So many apps, extensions coming in now.
I've always said generalist SWE is the best position to be in in the long run in your career. You're always positioned at the edge of abstraction, so everyone else is abstracting their jobs away to help you.
Yeah. Many things have simplified in creating an app too. Like Gradio and Streamlit. But they are very simple rn. If I am looking at a way to have user login, backend, monetizing then its still far
This isn't true. MLEs are using this to build more complex systems quickly, migrate code from one framework to another (this is super common because research is often only written for pytorch or TF), and other tooling.
How do you develop apps with this
It’s just an API call
