I have a somewhat less… exoteric example: cache management has many shared concepts with logistics, even some terminology is shared. And LLMs are really good at spotting these patterns and bringing...

I was thinking about this just a few weeks ago.

I've been trying to build on the Nostr protocol, and the primary engineering challenge has been to make various types of data available in the right places at the right times, including preferably the ability to anticipate when and where such data will be needed so that it can be pre-fetched.

So I've been struggling with that challenge in a sort of amateurish way, I mean the challenge of searching for and pre-fecthing data "intelligently" as I put it to myself. And I've actually been considering hiring professional developers , maybe computer scientists, who have experience with things like "distributed systems" or "caching," except that I don't really know how to find / identify people who have the required depth of knowlegde and experience.

And then I realized that my attempts to build deterministic and inflexible methods for caching "intelligently" (!) really pointed to a perfect use case for AI. It seems like precisely the type of job that an AI agent should be performing.

lol, anyhow, i got so turned off by the first paragraph now i read the second part and i'm wondering if you are actually wanting someone who knows how to build distributed systems, state machines, caches and pipelines like, you know, really? cos i know someone
