I just don't know how to think about what to build anymore.
Not to detract at all from this (and thanks for making the source available!) but we now have entire classes of problems that seem relatively straightforward to solve now, so I pretty much feel like *why bother?*
I need to recalibrate my brain quickly to frame problems differently. Both in terms of what is worth solving, and how to solve.
If the output is good enough, saves me time from having to write all the HTML by hand. Big time saver if a tool like this could deliver good-enough code that just requires some refinement.
Less of a time saver if it just outputs <div> soup.
Build something that solves a painful or interesting problem. Build something new! Nudge the status quo back towards sanity, balance and goodness.
Tech people have this tendency to onanise over whatever tools they're using -- how many times have we seen the plainest vanilla empty "hello world" type of project being showcased, simply because somene was compelled to make Framework A work with Toolkit B for the sake of it. It's so boring!
I think the LLM-based tech poses such a challenge in this context, because yeah, we have to re-think what's possible. There's no point in building a showcase when the tool is a generalist.
