As if startups before LLMs were creating great code. Right now on the front page, a YC company is offering a “Founding Full Stack Engineer” $100K-$150K. What quality of code do you think they will end up with?

Notably, that is a company that... adds AI to group chats. Startups offering crap salaries with a vague promise of equity in a vague product idea with no moat are a dime a dozen, and have been well before LLMs came around.

  • How did they get YC funding? It doesn’t seem like they have even a POC or any technical employees.

    • Have you seen the companies YC has been funding recently? All you need to do is mention AI and YC will throw some money your way. I don't know if you saw my first attempt at a post, but someone should suggest AI for HN comment formatting and I'm sure it will be funded.
