I feel sort of the same way but I'm desperate to understand what I'm missing. So many people sing such high praises. Billions are being invested. People are proclaiming the end of software developers. What I'm looking at can't be the product they are talking about.

I'm perfectly happy reading man pages personally. Half the fun of programming to me is mastering the API to get something out of it nobody expected was in there. To study the documentation (or implementation) to identify every little side effect. The details are most of the fun to me.

I don't really intend to use the AI for myself, but I do really wish to see what they see.




The deadline for YC's W25 batch is 8pm PT tonight. Go for it!
