Hmm, sometimes I feel like living in a different universe. Since LLMs can solve any technical challenge (like most of you claim here) and help folks explore new fields and revive all sorts of projects, wouldn't be all seeing effect of that everywhere? Wouldn't the bar for software quality go up (and go up significantly)? Wouldn't we see new innovative apps that people are delighted to use and more than happy to pay money for? Yet when I recently challenged some friends of mine to name just ONE major app / service that became materially better (I'd argue even better at all) or a new/innovative widely adopted by masses outside of pure AI world (Claudes and GPTs), they couldn't name any. Meanwhile, I am looking around and see that banking, insurance, search, social media, cloud computing are getting more bloated, unstable, mediocre and in general of lower quality. Where is all the cool software everybody is talking about? Where are the features from your backlogs that you were finally able to burn through? I am just not seeing it in the real world. Something doesn't add up here.
