Kotlin creator's new language: a formal way to talk to LLMs instead of English

I’m actually start seeking at work how people are writing skills in a very procedural manner. Something like:

First, collect the following information from user: …. Second, send http request to the following endpoint with the certain payload…. If server returned error - report back to user.

It makes me crack every time I see that kind of stuff. Why on Earth you won’t just write a script for that purpose? 10x faster, zero tokens burned, 100% deterministic.

- Because your bash-fu may not be good enough

- Because parts of the process may not be amenable to scripting, especially if they require LLMs

- Because the inputs to some steps are fuzzy enough that only an LLM can handle them

- etc...

That being said, yes, anything amenable to being turned into scripts should be.

Because then you cannot meet the KPIs of using AI tools on the job. /s
