“ the more I realize how incredibly hard the craft of shipping useful software actually”.
I posted something here not long ago re. There is a huge amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and great product. And it received a lot of downvotes.
LLM’s don’t change this in reality. That’s why we haven’t seen an explosion of high value products. Creating a product in the first place that create value is VERY, VERY HARD! The arrogance of people to dismiss it because of the existence llm’s is hilarious.
Right!
And it's not just the product design either - the number of steps it takes to get a piece of software in front of other people, correctly deployed, with backups and analytics and monitoring and a domain name...
Even with all the LLM help in the world you still need to know a whole lot about how web software works to pull that off.
