> Yeah maybe. Talk is cheap, show me the code.

Or even just link the app (which the poster is presumably eager to market, right?) as a bare minimum.

If LLMs for coding were half as productive at cranking out production quality software unassisted as the astroturfed hype around them suggests we should have seen a large unmistakable wave of better, faster-released software by now just in the output of software companies, startups, etc, but beyond the hype blogs (or reddit posts) I'm not seeing anything other than the status quo.

I'm not saying LLMs are worthless, they are pretty useful as advanced autocomplete and documentation that you can also happen to ask things in natural languages and get reasonable results (so long as you already have a solid enough base of knowledge to recognize when they are going off the rails). They can be very useful productivity speed-up tools, especially when you start working in a new realm.

But there's a long way from that to the "replaces 90% of all developers in writing 100% of their code" that is being sold in the hype.

Claude Code has been out for a decent amount of time. How long until we have a completely vibe-coded web browser? Linux replacement? New programming language that solves all our previous problems? Serenity was able to make a decent amount of progress with a small team in a few years, so with a 10x productivity improvement surely we'll see fully polished and complete products in the next year. Surely we'll see FAANG become more productive. Surely we'll see new unicorns come to unseat stagnating giants.
