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.

Why did we even need bridges in the first place
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.
It’s also a bit ironic to imagine that we’re at the end of new software ideas on a site owned(?) by YC.
