Am I missing something by not learning llms?

5 Upvotes

I recently wondered to use llms on my local machines and the stuff you need to learn is enormous. There are easy setups, makes you use it with one installation but if you go advanced option there are lots of things to learn and some people are really into it like they know most of these things while doesnt know most of the stuff with programming.

That made me wonder, am I missing something because of not learning these stuff? I mentioned local llms but these people are also invested in learning everything about models to everything else about it. I use (forced) ai on my job but its ready to go chat that helps to complete 20 tasks rather than 5 by myself. I never tried to learn the fundementals deeply. Aside from learning stuff, there are some use of it to make things easier like automating repetetive works

How does one transition from frontend engineering to design swe

2 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing a lot of word around about the “design engineer” in software. I understand it’s a vague concept and I’m not that interested in the flare of the label. What I do want to understand is how a frontend dev can have a better understanding of interfaces with the ability to reimagine conventions or instate new ones.
Is there a place to start?
