"Transitioning from the instrument player to the conductor of the orchestra"
I don't think this analogy is good, especially for an indie developer. A 40-piece orchestra needs a conductor, but a 4-piece rock band does not. In any case, the musicians are always the talent, a conductor merely a coordinator. Moreover, in classical music, the conductor is not even the composer.
@lapcatsoftware the part that probably pissed me off the most is this:
"I wish more people in our community were willing to have nuanced and pragmatic conversations about it rather than blindly taking sides."
Maybe it's the places he's reading/hearing. But there is a lot of pragmatic discussion about it. It seems that maybe he's doesn't understand why people don't want to immediate give their lives to LLMs when they here these "success" stories from LLM usage.
