Number of iOS apps has exploded since ChatGPT came out, according to Sensor Tower: https://i.imgur.com/TOlazzk.png
Furthermore, most productivity gains will be in private repos, either in a work setting or individuals' personal projects.
I deleted vscode and replaced with a hyper personal dashboard that combines information from everywhere. I have a news feed, work tab for managing issues/PRs, markdown editor with folders, calendar, AI powered buttons all over the place (I click a button, it does something interesting with Claude code I can't do programmatically). Why don't I share it? Because it's highly personal, others would find it doesn't fit th…

Not OP, just guessing.

No one needs another SaaS. Games are the real killer app for AI. Hear me out. I've wanted to make video games forever. It's fun, and scratches an itch that no other kind of programming does. But making a game is a mountain of work that is almost completely unassailable for an individual in their free time. The sheer volume of assets to be created stops anything from ever being more than a silly little demo. Now, with…
Except all of the ai created games posted to the various subreddits are awful. No one likes them, no one plays them. The ones that make it to steam end up getting abandoned when the devs hit a performance wall. Game development just isn’t something AI can do well. Good games are not just recreations of existing titles.
As with anything else, 95% of it will always be crap. Taste is now the great differentiator.

> Most people do not want AI! Personally, I explicitly want "not AI" I'm going to be a curmudgeon that is going out of my way to avoid it as much as I possibly can
I think its a very specific tech/HN bias. I observe the complete opposite with some of my non-tech friends. While we are sharing anecdotes and personal opinion: I think most people don't care too much if its "AI" or not, they just want their problems solved...

Technical people (which is by far the minority of people out there) building personal apps to scratch an itch is one thing. But based on the hype (100x productivity!), there should be a deluge of high quality mobile apps, Saas offerings, etc. There is a huge profit incentive to create quality software at a low price. Yet, the majority of new apps and services that I see are all AI ecosystem stuff. Wrappers around LLM…
Oh and sadly, llm’s are useless for the imaginative part too. Shucks eh.
When you are developing library it's exact opposite - you really care about how it works and which interface it provides so you end up writing it mostly by hand.

So many execs and marketing people seem to think customers explicitly "want AI". Most people do not want AI! Only a tiny segment of Middle Managers Looking To Leverage New Technology are actually excited by AI branding. But, lots of people want software that does magically useful things, and LLMs can do that! Just...don't brand it as AI. It's like branding a new computer with more processing power as "Jam Packed with…
There was no real answer but I got definite you’re-being-the-turd-in-the-punchbowl vibes.
