Did they, though? I ask because the vast majority of people touting LLM as a huge win usually seem to speak from a.. DK-heavy perspective. As in, the bulk of their profession experience hasn't actually been doing the subject they're gushing about the LLM crushing.

So I ask you, what is your level of devops experience to make such a dismissive, sweeping statement? I am pointedly inquiring about my own area of expertise, in case that wasn't clear.

I mean this for simple devops tasks, like if you need it to write you a Bash script that will clean out some empty caches or something it will one shot it most of the time. And for figuring out standard tasks like setting up deploy keys for some new doc system or updating the make files to handle some new build dependency. I still have devops engineers for anything difficult, but they get pestered with a lot less things they would find trivial that the rest of the teams would have asked them for help on before.
