My manager and team are fine, I just think the work here is absolutely mind numbing I hate working on design docs for things that are so difficult to translate to value for a real human. And having nerds on my team block things for weeks argu

How do you deal with excessive code reviews?

I have a teammate who I feel does excessive code reviews. He finds the smallest details to request changes on.

Optimizing LLM performance feels like premature optimization

We still don't seem to have a great handle on what product experiences we can reliably build using large language models. And yet lot of energy is being spent trying to optimize their performance.
