I'm not unhappy that anyone is excited, I'm frustrated by the amount of time and effort being wasted right now, and especially by how out of control people's expectations about these tools are. I say this as a daily user of multiple different LLM tools, including state of the art coding agents. My take is neither cynical nor depressed (projection on your part perhaps?), it's seeing through the hype and applying critical thinking. Same thing that I've been doing for social and tech trends for the past 20 years. My work has nothing to do with any of this, but fwiw I do work in one of the most competitive and technically advanced industries in the world, and there is absolutely 0 chance of LLMs doing anything meaningful in the field. It's the hottest topic on HN because of the specific type of person you get here. Check out lobste.rs for a much more representative and balanced take on LLMs, for example. "Most of us" meant humans, not tech bros.
