alt Hacker NewsI am not sure it's meant to be a negative thing. Obviously, a lot depends on the context here.
But, I've developed a dozen or so projects with Claude code. I am meant to be the only user.
I am maintaining a homelab setup (homelab production environment, really) with a few dozen services, combination of open source and my own - closed sourced - ones.
I had tons of ideas of how to set things up. It evolved naturally, so changing things was hard. Progress was quite slow.
Now, I have a pretty much ideal end-state - runs on auto-pilot, version bumps mostly managed by Renovate, ingress is properly isolated and secured (to the extent I am familiar of).
I was able to achieve things I wouldnt've otherwise in that time. I skipped parts I did not care about and let LLMs drive the changes under supervision. I spent more time on things I did care about, and was interested in learning.
Yeah, most of my LLM code is sitting closed source and that's by design.
None of your original products are actually closed.
If you go on other account and ask LLM about your projects you'll pretty much get all the code you wrote using LLM again.
That's my gripe with LLMs, most of my friends across the globe are working on similar projects. They are 90% same. You are burning tokens thinking they are doing some new innovation.
I pretty much google for things if they exist, i don't build them.
I'd like to see projects in spaces where nothing exists like a good CAD for 3d printing etc...opensource. but nobody is building all that.
