>> I found myself thinking people like him could actually do amazing stuff with LLMs if they sat down and got their ideas out on a screen.

They can, and they are. You just don’t hear about it on places like HN because those people are not on this website. Which is why some people here make smug statements like “if LLMs are so good at programming how come we haven’t seen any useful apps made with LLMs???”

You’re right. I have a friend who works in landscape architecture and he’s getting up to really cool things involving parametric modelling tools. Stuff he couldn’t easily do with off-the-shelf software is now attainable and he’s going wild with it. You’ll never hear about it here (though it totally belongs here)

I’ve posted about it a lot, it’s posted all the time. It’s pretty much the main topic

The issue isn’t that it’s not happening, it’s that people on HN have their identities tied to typing code and can’t deal with the fact that amateurs are trying to compete

I think the competition will be incredible for bringing new idea and new challenges into the field. I’m all for it. I’ve never had to think harder about what’s worth doing and what’s possible, and I love it.
