  That wasn't being claimed, just proposed as the direction we're headed.

    Another user had already written what I had in mind when I responded to your comment.. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47387570 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47387570

  Yes, because the current software paradigm (a shed/barn/warehouse full of tools to suite every possible users every possible need) doesn't make sense when LLMs can turn plain English into a software tool in the matter of minutes.

    >LLMs can turn plain English into a software tool in the matter of minutes. Unless LLMs can read minds, no one will bother to specify, even in plain english with the required level of detail. And that is assuming the user has the details in mind, which is also something pretty improbable...

      You need to think outside the box a little. They're not going to need to write a requirements doc from scratch. They'll tell it to copy a piece of software which is already established and make some customisations or improvements based on their needs. This is a few sentences.

        But if most software is created by user, then where does this reference piece come from?
        • Gareth321 7mo ago
          The same place all creative reference comes from: someone or something else. We have a nearly unlimited well of creative and technical reference now.
