alt Hacker NewsHello y’all as the post says, certainly a novice stepping into y’all’s space, but I am passionate that we can use the newest form of coding to allow us to change the way we teach. I think it’s a different way to use AI to teach, not having it explicitly do the teaching, but a way to extract context from different backgrounds into more fun learning tools.
This is a great example of the kind of 'good enough' software that LLMs enable. Before LLMs existed you'd either hire someone to do this an exorbitant cost or you'd pick up a second full time job learning the nessessary skills.
This software doesn't need to be massive scaled, hyperperformant, and absolutely bug free. It just needs to do its job well enough, which it does.
I am also a (non-software) engineer and although I can write software (poorly) I have also used these tools to do some things that previously just wouldn't have gotten done.
We still need people to do Serious Software but for millions of little applications like this LLMs are a game changer.
