alt Hacker NewsIt's like looking at the early internet and then suggesting teenagers should write browsers as their projects instead of webpages.

If you learnt to build a browser in 2000 you're probably doing well for yourself lol.
Not a lot of demand, but also probably not a lot of supply.
Are you fingerpointing Marc Andreessen?
Well, there's a lot more to learn from the former than the latter ...
I mean... that's actually amazing advice. Not because they would grow up to create browser startups. But because they would grow up to create web startups that succeed because of very fundamental of how the web is rendered.
Which is paulg's point really
Early internet let me create the best personal web page in my city that I knew of with 2 weeks experience as a 12 year old. I imagine that same 12 year old could be more knowledgeable about LLMs than 99% of people in the same period.
If someone writes a browser in their teens, they will probably learn more about the web than if they were just writing web pages
