So we decided to build that to validate and confirm our fears.
And before Java finally settled on what we have today, we had 3rd-party libraries like jodatime that tried to fix it.
I guess it’s in a good state today, but it took a LocalDateTime.MAX to get there. I mean an Instant.MAX. No, I mean an OffsetDateTime.MAX. No, I mean new Date(Long.MAX_VALUE). Oh wait I meant new Timestamp(Long.MAX_VALUE). No, I mean LocalTime.MAX.

I experienced this with resume editing. The LLM removes everything that differentiates my resume from a pile of junior engineers with “average” experience. Anything that was special or unique or different was eventually replaced with generic stuff
Of course I didn’t use what it produced, but it was maddening because the LLM kept insisting this was better than what I had.
I found LLMs to be much more useful in suggesting edits to very small chunks of my resume (a sentence or three) rather than the overall vision of the document.
