Perhaps the biggest issue hasn't been the speed of development all along but people working on wrong things, hence why progress isn't as evident. LLM helping to build something that isn't needed faster isn't going to productivity more visible.
- 20k 2mo agoThere's no reason that some people wouldn't be using their new found 10x superpowers on open source projects though
- Supermancho 2mo agoI use my powers to finish my own projects (until the next creative barrier) while my professional workload has been reduced to 20% effort with 0 stress. I wrote a game I left in a folder from 11 years ago in 2 months, front and back plus all the tooling, plus features I never would have attempted before. I recreated open-sourced projects from github, written in a language I wasn't familiar with, so I could better work with the application and include it in my backend codebase. I rewrote my mail server in less than 2 days, which took me over 2 weeks to configure and setup the last time. My life is easier, because the demands are the same but I have more free time. I research more, I learn more, and I try more things. Just like any software project, some are abandoned (even with LLMs) when running into unforeseen issues or mismatches with theoretical plans. Most importantly, I can make things that I think are exciting, with very little effort. The first 35 years of development, I struggled to be good enough to tackle sourcing various projects without becoming frustrated and mostly knowing myself well enough to avoid trying at all. Now I can see myself writing passion projects until I'm dead.
