At $dayjob, a company with ~10k employees, there are like 3 people who cannot shut up discussing the latest models in the internal AI forum, 10 others that constantly compare models and talk about "strategy" of using the models.
The rest of the users just use whatever the default is and get their work done.
Is this really new though? In the olden days, you had some engineers that REALLY cared about linting, various architectures, standards design, and so on when the majority of engineers just follow the spec and standards as is.
You need those people digging into the latest newness and discussing strategy on how to best use new tools so that the "rest of the users" can follow and do the work.
