alt Hacker NewsYou mean that desktop app is not something I can spin up in days with my tiniest of LLM budgets?
I do not know where people are lost these days. I build ambitious apps with 3x $20 subscriptions. And I live in a village in eastern Himalayas. People are really in a bubble.
LLMs have crushed the idea of "using [another product] to jumpstart" anything. Just build it.

Yes you can build it in a single prompt, but you miss the 93 versions of iterations and thoughts of the developers who've already made the project. If you have the money, why not buy a product/team that already has a year of experience with real users instead of reinventing the wheel?

Here's a quote to think about. LLM's are great, but they're only one part of the recipe:
“Anyone could make a videogame last week, anyone could make a videogame five years ago... nothing has changed.”
