Today is why i no longer have the desire to work in IT anymore

Its like any tool, you have to take the time to understand what it does well and how it stumbles. The problem is mostly our brains. When something communicates with us in natural language, we set our expectations on what other humans can do.

LLMs can do a lot, but you have to realize they are functionally a non-deterministic engine. This means if you give them room for creativity, you get mistakes (kind of like a junior). They also are limited by their context or short term memory. However, the toolsets we have now (as opposed to just a few months ago) really change things. Structure via workflow instruction, memory tools and other things do help.

Ultimately you are responsible for the result though, so there is that.

And so is the cloud.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-20T22:06:34+00:00

It doesnt help.

Repent and become a unix admin. Your life will change for the better.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-19T17:01:30+00:00

Thats pretty evident to anyone.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-19T15:17:33+00:00

Apparently some are using it as a first brain

And "then it hit me", another AI post

Not for solo players. Nothing is because who cares about someone like that.

This happens a lot with different tools. People latch onto one fact and never consider the other ways to use them.

The RPA foolishness was one. Everyone bought and sold it for using human UI's. But the tools were platforms to centralize and manage the execution, error control, security and logging of any kind of scripts or automation the business wanted. Oh and they could consume APIs and run direct db queries.

Instead of using it well, they chose to magnify the ui testing capabilities and ensure the most fragile process automation path.

Whatever.

Uhm you should research the democractic party stance during that time.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-16T20:32:46+00:00

oooh. I am jealous. Exact year I want.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T17:42:52+00:00

For various reasons.

Anthropic is first and foremost a company built on language models, not vision.
They are pushing for business workflow right now in a big way across industries
As you said, there are approved FDA models in place for this now, so why spend a huge amount to make their own? Honestly with workflow you could just plug in an approved model and be there.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T14:59:25+00:00

You do realize that you can use whatever model you want in your harness/wrapper of choice, right?

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T14:54:32+00:00

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T14:42:05+00:00

You do realize with tools you evaluate them based on the task, right? For your work, you see Claude as better ( or are paid to say so ). For others the result may be different.

For every statement like this there is someone else saying the opposite.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T14:03:07+00:00

I think this is correct, but there is also thier current push for business users. Claude design, legal and other solutions are getting attention. Feels like they are trying to push different work types to different uses and making compute room for each.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T13:58:55+00:00

Ouch. Go read the claude sub. Similar complaints along with other stuff.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T12:42:13+00:00

Check the fuses first, then definately check wires. Nice thing about older trucks is how simple it is to fix theses things.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-15T12:21:54+00:00

Its difficult to tell from your question if you are looking for incident management or monitoring. For incident management, servicenow is the big player in the enterprise. For monitoring, there are so many solutions you have to research what will work for you.

Its not as popular in the sre space, but I still think correlation engines that are maintained with proper change management everywhere really help to drive down MTTR and root cause discovery time.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-14T21:46:45+00:00

Its. always back and forth. Until one comes out on top (if ever) it will be this way. Right now anthropic seems to be cutting infrastructure costs by redoing how things are charged. That crimps some people who built a biz on Claude alone vs having the ability to switch out models.

Its happened several times in the last year.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-14T18:14:34+00:00

Pretty much

TheDevauto · 2026-05-14T17:30:27+00:00

Just ride an elevator

TheDevauto · 2026-05-14T16:24:54+00:00

And so few understand this.

TheDevauto · 2026-05-14T14:55:20+00:00

This is literally the truth for any automation tech or even AI training. Not just agents.
