replyIt'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.
When Gutenberg invented the printing press, he could not have predicted the teleprompter. Now that code is easy to generate, it’s plausible that we will use much, much more of it than before.
replyIt’s also a bit ironic to imagine that we’re at the end of new software ideas on a site owned(?) by YC.
it's also plausible that with an ability to generate as much code as we want with little effort, we will quickly discover how much code we actually need, and then plateau at that point.
replyPersonally, 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.
Why did we even need bridges in the first place
