you don't see the products because not all AI-assisted dev products are AI wrappers. These products look like regular software, both internal company tools and external customer facing ones.
There are people all over the place building stuff that would've either never been built, or would've required a paid dev++.
I built a whole webshop with an internal CRM/admin panel to manage ~150 products. I built a middleware connecting our webshop to our legacy ERP system, smth that would be normally done by another software company.
I built a program with a UI that makes it super easy for us to generate ZPL code and print labels using 4 different label printers automatically with a simple interface, managed by an RPi.
I have built custom personal portfolio websites for friends with Gemini 3 in hours for free, smth that again would've cost money for dev or some crappy WP/Squarespace templates.
As the other user said, the progress/changes are not distributed evenly, and are impossible to quantify.
But to me whose main job is not programming (but who knows how to code) but running a nom-software business, the productivity gains are very obvious, as is the fact that because of LLMs I have robbed developers of potential work.
you'd hope so, the same way you'd hope that AI IDEs would not show these package/dependency folder contents when referencing files using @ - but i still get shown a bunch of shit that i would never need to reference by hand
Indeed, if you try to get them to refund you by yourself, they will keep saying that it was out of their control. But I've gotten several refunds over the past years by going through one of several companies who specialize in getting airlines to give refunds. Granted they take a % cut, but you still get most of it without lifting a finger.
This is a terrifying prospect indeed, especially being located in the Netherlands, plenty bikes are getting stolen left and right already.
But I guess this is inevitable, so we'll just have to devise better solutions than the simple locks which in their working principles have not changed in the past 100+ years.
Great market opportunity around the corner I suppose.
How about you hang your clothes indoors when it's raining inside? I've been doing that for years in a rainy country in a tiny studio apartment. No issues.
Claude is a bit more expensive though, no? I felt like I burned through 5$ worth of credit in one evening, but perhaps it was also because I was using the big-AGI UI and it was producing diagrams for me, often in quintuplicates for some reason. Still, I really like Claude and much more prefer it over others.
I was wondering what would be the best way to post on HN or another platform a kind of a blueprint for an idea?
I'm in the ideation/design phase of a nylon-based linear actuator project and would love to gather some feedback from people (semi)-related to any adjacent fields that could give some additional feedback on the theoretical/practical side of the product.
I think it's more that his comment did not contribute to the conversation in any way, as per HN guidelines. The idea is to keep the threads as clean of superfluous answers as possible.
Thanks for elaborating. I hope you're right, and after I'm finished with hypertrophy I'll try to tip the balance more in the direction of plant-based again. Cheers.
Most things do not need to end up in your notes, and LLMs add too much noise, one that you likely never personally verify/filter out at all.
JA Westenberg made a good video essay about it a few days ago:
