LLMs as translation layers, not autonomous agents
Draft- engineering
- llm
The reliable wins I've shipped with LLMs all share a shape: a known input on one side, a known consumer on the other, and the model doing the lossy translation in the middle.
Draft — full write-up coming. Outline below.
- Agents promise autonomy and deliver debugging.
- Translation layers: bounded input, bounded output, testable.
- Examples from test infra and GTM tooling.
- How to keep the blast radius small.
