alt Hacker NewsLmao if a company starts shipping llm documentation for its products so you can tamper with them, you should assume youve woken up in a parallel universe.
I think most people on here fail to realize the demand to customize and build things hasnt gone up. Just because llms exist now doesnt mean normies all of a sudden want to start getting into programming, they dont care.
The only number thats gone up is people who were slightly interested in programming/CS before but were too undisciplined to learn things themselves. Llms are great for those lazy people.

I get the point that you're trying to make, but it's not just people who were undisciplined. I spent many years developing code projects that I remember spending hours every afternoon just to ship a single feature, and that pace has obviously changed.
I still get the joy of translating ideas and orchestrating and architecting solutions to problems I have in real life, but just at a quicker pace.
If some of those tools and solutions can help other people, that's great. If not, that's okay too. I hope everyone sort of has that mindset who's building today.

My dad, who is in his 70s, recently started recreating a piece of audio visualization software from the 00s using Codex. He’s having the time of his life! He was never interested in programming/CS. He just wants his software back.
