We’ve created software for virtually every place we can put software. There’s nothing new.
It’s like bridges. We’ve seen all the ways bridges can be built by now. There’s nothing new left to discover.
It's the end of history. What could we possibly discover about a series of technologies that are already nearly 100 years old now?
I've heard people say that various things are "solved" now because of LLMs too -- programming included. This implies we've "solved" thinking. I'm worried about these sentiments.
It’s also a bit ironic to imagine that we’re at the end of new software ideas on a site owned(?) by YC.
Personally, I think we've already reached that point.
Even at YC, I have not really seen any startup doing anything interesting where their main value prop is enabled by new proprietary code that does stuff no one else can already do.
