Bit late to the party mate. Everyone cycled into llm psychosis in December and had cycled out by February or so
wffurr•31m ago
"cycled out" what. The tech world is still completely insane.
groby_b•19m ago
Yes, but we've traded LLM psychosis for agent psychosis, followed by loop psychosis. (Or was it the other way round? Also, we did dark software factories already, right?)

Turns out that if you try to be "15 minutes into everyone else's future", you get better and more frequent trips than any psychedelics could provide.

you know what's next. CONSCIOUSNESS PSYCHOSIS and it's gonna be a wild one

Maybe not the most interesting article on HN, but I need to agree. Accounting in general is way too completex. For a Non business case (no tax involved), I decided to use hledger, but my "UI" to it is just an LLM. It was nerver so simple to make "okay enough" book keeping.
natbennett•15m ago
The phenomenon this describes is the most important effect of LLM coding tools, and this is my favorite description of it.

As impressive as it sounds, I don’t think this is representative of the AI panorama. It’s difficult for non tech people to build tailored software just like that, and unless things change drastically, I don’t see the majority of the population building their own software just like they use mobile phones

yeah, i disagree. i think i am essentially ~non-technical and it is not difficult to build one-user applications at all. it's not even difficult to build "real" software!

ARE we still in the dorks-only phase? i am certainly a gigantic loser, but i am not sure i am the sort of dork being invoked and i have been doing and thinking about the exact same kinda stuff. i think the genie is out of the bottle or whatever
