  • It's exhausting to be downstream of an external metronome.
    • Blue collar workers have known this for a long time.
    • Now with LLM quotas and credits, engineers, long a white-collar job, are starting to feel the same.
    • We stuck ourselves below the API.
      • Oops!
    • We're now Reverse Centaurs.
      • The head of a beast, the body of a human.
      • The machine tells the human what to do.
      • Potentially a miserable, terrible existence.
      • … Maybe we should just call this being a Minotaur?
