Yeah I mean, if you can reason about, say, how an automobile engine works, then you can reason about how a modern computer works too, right? If you can discuss the tradeoffs in various engine design parameters then surely you understand amdahl's law, caching strategies of a modern CPU, execution pipelining, etc... We just need to give those auto guys an LLM and then they can do systems software engineering, right?

Did you catch the sarcasm there?

Are you a manager by any chance? The non-coding parts of my job largely require domain experience. How does an LLM provide you with that?
