Ok I think I need to go into more depth on the examples.

I think HN knows that anyone can prompt LLMs. I do think its interesting though that this has allowed PMs/SMEs to direclty influence products that are deployed to millions of people. That seems genuinely novel. Maybe I over egged it

Hey Tombert,

wrt did you read the article? I was quite specific about the ways I think LLMs are blurring the lines. I don't think its true for general engineering but I do think its true for applications being built with LLMs.

Also its still very early

I think I'm just trying hard to be overly polite in the face of negative criticism and that sounds a lot like ChatGPT!

Nope :(

But I guess I need to up my game if you can't tell the difference

Re:AI is blurring the line between PMs and engineers? on Tuesday February 25, 2025 @02:51PM (#43176454)
I agree with that. What do you think about the point thought that for LLM agents and applications, prompts and tool definitions might matter more than code?

Hi,

I totally agree that we're not at a point where AI can write most code. Though, I didn't ever say that. I just think its blurring the boundary between engineers and PMs with both taking on more of the others role.

Also, it shouldn't be surprising that the product we're building is aligned with what we believe about the world :)

Hi Hexator,

OP here. Thanks for the (harsh!) feedback, I'll take it in a growth mindset.

The post does genuinely reflect my experiences and I do believe what I said.How would you advise I change the post to make it better?

Which parts do you think are untrue?

Thanks!

Not the OP but can confirm that Humanloop has full support for OpenAI function calling.

Show HN: Coworker – An Open Source AI assistant for your company Slack

Hi HN,We’re Raza and Jordan, the founders of Humanloop. At our company hackathon, we built an initial prototype for an extensible AI assistant that lives in Slack.ChatGPT is incredibly useful. But it’s also very limited. It doesn’t have the context of your work or your company. It can’t take actions beyond sending you messages in text. It has no memory.That’s why we built Coworker. Coworker is...

I think I worded this poorly. What he said was that a lot of people say they want open-source models but they underestimate how hard it is to serve them well. So he wondered how much real benefit would come from open-sourcing them.

I think this is reasonable. Giving researchers access is great but for most small companies they're likely better off having a service provider manage inference for them rather than navigate the infra challenge.
