alt Hacker NewsWhat do you classify as new? Every problem that we solve as developers is a very small deviation from already existing problems. Maybe that’s the point of llms?
How many developers do you think are solving truly novel problems? Most like me are CRUD bunnies.

And these developers do not write the majority of their codebase, they use tons of libraries and only write the glue code.
If your problem is a very small deviation from an existing problem, you should be able to take an existing open-source solution and make a very small modification to adapt it to your use case. No need for “vibe-coding” a lower-quality implementation from scratch.
