Yes. I think part of the problem is how good it is at starting from a blank slate and putting together an MVP type app. As a developer, I have been thoroughly impressed by this. Then non-devs see this and must think software engineers are doomed. What they don't see is how terrible LLMs are at working with complex, mature codebases and the hallucinations and endless feedback loops that go with that.
- idle_zealot 2y agoThe tech to quickly spin up MVP apps has been around for a while now. It gets you from a troubling blank slate to something with structure, something you can shape and build on. I am of course talking about npx create-{template name} Or your language of choice's equivalent (or git clone template-repo).
- tiborsaas 2y agoYes, but the LLM driven MVP-s are not only builerplates but actual functioning apps. The "create-" is somewhat good, but it's usually throwaway code and do it properly later. While my LLM made boilerplate is the actual first few steps to get the boring parts done. It also needs refactoring and polishing, but it's an order of magnitude better than the "MVP helper tooling" before.
