Claims that thriving means becoming a generalist get backed by concrete examples: Shopify trains models to edit images and automate email campaigns, GitHub ships Copilot, Amazon One Medical ships One Life, Netflix pivots from DVDs to streaming and wins. Tools named include LangChain and vector DBs, LLMs, factory_bot, RSpec, Figma. A striking data point is 750 billion data points median training set in 2023 and Apple reports 3 million live viewers for a product event.
