AI bros in LinkedIn changing all their persona to be “Agentic Experts” or “LLM Engineers” or crap like that, what is their backup? Like when the bubble pops, what is their plan? Will they go back to being developers?

@loucyx I feel like most of them will either revert to normal developer or pick w/e the next trend is. I kinda think of it like the whole “web 3 engineer” thing: they’re into the tech, the tech is popular, so the tech is their identity. New tech? Repeat

Cynically I fear that LLMs will have a stronger sticking power on the ground level than any of the blockchain stuff did, so I anticipate many will still call themselves “Agentic Experts” etc…. until their apps get a massive data breach lol

@LandoDev yup, you’re right! There are still some web3/crypto/blockchain engs out there, so some of them might never change their “AI” title. I guess I’m a little bit jealous they can believe so so strongly on the trendy tech of the moment. My default is yo be critical 😅

@loucyx I’m totally with you haha. I get plenty excited about new frameworks and languages and what-have-you, but when a hyped tech promises to change the world - while obviously doing harm in the moment - I am very cynical lol
