I'm a DevOps/infrastructure person, and I agree completely. This article won't change that.

They've been great for helping me with work-related tasks. It's like having a knowledgeable co-worker with infinite patience, and nothing better to do. Neither the people nor the LLM give back perfect answers every time, but it's usually more than enough to get me to the next step.

That said, having good domain knowledge helps a lot. You make fewer mistakes, and you ask better questions.

When I use LLMs for tasks I don't know much about, it takes me a lot longer than someone who does know. I think a lot of people - not just infrastructure people - are missing out by not learning how to use LLMs effectively.
