Most art forms do not have a wildly changing landscape of materials and mediums. In software we are seeing things slow down in terms of tooling changes because the value provided by computers is becoming more clear and less reliant on specific technologies.
I figure that all this AI coding might free us from NIH syndrome and reinventing relational databases for the 10th time, etc.
- realusername 7mo agoThe bar to create the new X framework has just been lowered so I expect the opposite, even more churn.
- justonceokay 7mo agoYes but no AI will know how to use your new framework so it will not get adopted
- marcus_holmes 7mo agoAll frameworks make some assumptions and therefore have some constraints. There was always a well-understood trade-off when using frameworks of speeding up early development but slowing down later development as the system encountered the constraints. LLMs remove the time problem (to an extent) and have more problems around understanding the constraints imposed by the framework. The trade-off is less worth it now. I have stopped using frameworks completely when writing systems with an LLM. I always tell it to use the base language with as few dependencies as possible.
- LtWorf 7mo agoIf you are doing js, that makes sense since all the frameworks are a mess anyway.
- sd9 7mo agoLLMs are very much NIH machines
- ffsm8 7mo agoi'd go one step further, they're going to turbo charge the NIH syndrome and treat every code file as a seperate "here"
- j_bum 7mo agoFor others like me who know “NIH” to be “National Institutes of Health”… “NIH” here refers to “Not Invented Here” Syndrome, or a bias against things developed externally.
- coldtea 7mo agoBasically not wanting to use dependencies or frameworks from outside the company or team.
- protocolture 7mo agoSee I thought they were the same thing, considering the Queensland Health payroll database issues, I assumed someone coined the term assuming it would clobber Health acronyms.

- clayhacks 7mo agoYeah it’s gonna make the bar for good enough here super easy to meet and people will have less reasons to look around outside
- chaghalibaghali 7mo agoThis was one of my predictions in https://thomshutt.com/2026/03/17/predictions/ https://thomshutt.com/2026/03/17/predictions/ - fiddling around with creating new languages and lower level tooling becomes less rewarding versus figuring out what we can get agents to build on top of the existing ones
