alt Hacker NewsWhen 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.
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.
Personally, 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.
