I love that there are somehow authorities on tech that realistically they could have 1-2 years experience with tops. It’s the reverse of the “seeking coder with 10 years of experience in a 2 year old language” meme.

I've been building what's called ai agents since gpt3 came out. There are plenty of other people who did the same thing. That's five years now. If you can't be an expert after 5 years then there is no such thing as experts.

Of course agents is now a buzzword that means nothing so there is that.

I agree with your point. After working with LLMs and building apps with them for the past four years, I consider myself a veteran and perhaps an authority (to some) on the subject. I find developing programs that use LLMs both fascinating and frustrating. Nevertheless, I'm going to continue with my work and curiosities, and let the industry change the names of what I'm doing—whether it's called agent development, context engineering, or whatever comes next.
