How much should an LLM do for you? I’ve started experimenting with using LLMs to help me build software. One of the first things I did was to watch the video of Llewellyn Falco’s talk about using process files as blueprints for Agentic AI, from Craft Conference 2025. >>>

A recent study showed that developers thought using #AI had made them 20% more productive, but actually it had made them 19% LESS productive. I can help. Look out for my trainings coming up this year, or get in touch to book a private training for your team. jcq.me/train #productivity #Software
You know your boss has been using #LLMs too much when... A messenger conversation says: Boss: Today I want you to take on the role of a data architect and work out how to fix the problems withe the slow data retrieval from the main database. Me: But I'm a front-end developer. Boss: thumbs-down
