I’d personally like to see a good wrapper for autonomous LLM coding. Nothing we have yet quite fits the bill, IMO.
The hype cycle repeats again this time with AI. There will be a lot of noise and fury (after blockchain, nocode, big data, cloud etc etc). The good part is that consumers will vote with their attention and wallets. Only the products that bring real value based on non trivial insights into specific markets will survive. The rest will slowly die off and be forgotten. Also a lot of the VC money just ends up going back t…
> The hype cycle repeats again this time with AI. There will be a lot of noise and fury (after blockchain, nocode, big data, cloud etc etc). It's often literally the same people who were riding the last hype cycle, too. The guys behind the Rabbit R1 AI wearable were NFT metaverse grifters before they became AI grifters, for example.

This is the result of the last decade or so where SAAS has become very lucrative and barrier to entry is almost nil with some many tools to quickly build something.

I tried it and it was so bloated and complex to actually change things for your own use case, I dropped it. Many more like that in other ecosystems. Not saying it doesn't work for others but nowadays there are too many people selling boilerplates w…
It's nuts, the absolute dumbest-sounding ideas (to me at least), with "ai" slapped into the description somewhere, just totally flush with cash for no other reason than they are riding the hype train. Do the folks writing the checks even look into these things?
I am noticing the same thing in recruiter messages via LinkedIn. "Hi! I'm with turd.ai! We are revolutionizing the toilet industry using chatbots! We have $80m in funding from a16z and can offer up to $275k for the right candidate!"
