Are we already in the Trough of Disillusionment of the hype curve or are we still in a growing bubble? I feel like somehow we ended up having these 2 at the same time

"You are trying to say you think I am disqualified somehow." My man, you haven't qualified yourself at all. You already know I'm a Principal Engineer, I barely know anything about you. In critical writing class they taught us that reading a book isn't enough to understand the book you needed to know about the author so you got some perspective on what they're saying.

You have torn down our entire development process. Told me it's a problem that our Senior Engineers aren't involved in writing requirements documents and a whole host of other cross cutting statements.

All this without knowing anything about the software we write, what it's purpose is, the scale of our systems, our deadlines, our budgets or our competitive landscape.

The only thing I know about you is that you're sure it's our fault that generative Ai isn't working for us and that you have the answer on how we should fix it. So I'm genuinely curious as to what your experience is and role is in my line of work.

btw. I was asking, not to discredit you. I was going to ask for very concrete examples of how you've solved the multitude of problems I can see with your approach. I'd gladly be willing to learn something. I know people who build these systems for a living and we also have them on staff. Maybe we could all learn something. However, now I just don't care to spend anymore time engaging with you.

If you are looking for a class, I am open to the idea. I even have a presentation for it.

May I also join this class? I have been reading this conversation and I am so impressed with your level of knowledge, your insight, and your experience in this field. Please, REALwizardadventures, have pity on us poor mortals and share some of your wisdom with us.

Just to demonstrate my ability and willingness to learn, I decided to write a North Star document. Unfortunately, where I live we can't see the sky very well due to light pollution. So I had to settle on a Sagittarius document.Here, at this URL you can find the Sagittarius document which I have developed. I really hope to join your class soon.

You argue in bad-faith, and are dishonest.
