farseer commented on Coding agents have replaced every framework I used   blog.alaindichiappari.dev... · Posted by u/alainrk

A significant number of developers and businesses are going to have an absolutely brutal rude awakening in the not too distant future.

You can build things this way, and they may work for a time, but you don't know what you don't know (and experience teaches you that you only find most stuff by building/struggling; not sipping a soda while the AI blurts out potentially secure/stable code).

The hubris around AI is going to be hard to watch unwind. What the moment is I can't predict (nor do I care to), but there will be a shift when all of these vibe code only folks get cooked in a way that's closer to existential than benign.

Good time to be in business if you can see through the bs and understand how these systems actually function (hint: you won't have much competition soon as most people won't care until it's too late and will "price themselves out of the market").

I think it would be the opposite and we are all in for a rude awakening. If you have tried playing with Opus 4.6 you would know what I am talking about.
farseer commented on Ask HN: Why LLM providers sell access instead of consulting services?    · Posted by u/pera

Consulting has weak margins compared to SaaS and scales poorly. Providing the interface for companies to spin up their own consultants (=Agents like Claude Code) is a superior business model in every dimension.

Yup, because LLM inference can be scaled by adding racks of hardware. Consulting can't be.

Generative AI has failed to replace SaaS so far...It has disrupted plenty of other lower verticals in writing, proof reading, translation, graphics design, tutorials, searching case law etc. Unless the progress stops, you can't assume LLM efficacy has hit a ceiling.

Agents, properly setup can partially accomplish what you described already.

Their competitor is Google, which has already baked AI into search and allows you to talk to Gemini separately as well. Google already makes a hundred billion a year from text search and won't stop a free Gemini which adds value to their search. What makes you say that?

Also Deepseek and Alibaba would love to capture OpenAI users.

Large software platforms with their own ecosystems will be spared this fate. Mostly because AI can only create small and trivial apps and further model improvement in context size or otherwise may not be forthcoming so easily.

So large software platforms, think Jira/Confluence, MS Teams, SAP etc are not affected. But AI will definitely eat the solo dev SaaS, especially those handling trivial use cases.

Mine are energy related:

1. The Steam engine and later ICE engines that started and sustained the industrial revolution and the modern world.

2. Electricity (generation, control), this led to the telegraph (our first internet), radio, and of-course electrical switching components that form basis of modern semiconductors.

SAP has some competitors for its smaller offerings. Odoo, OpenProject etc. But to replace a full scale SAP for an MNC with worldwide logistics and billions in sales, you will need well another SAP.

You are asking Intel to become Apple, sort of. Without control over any of the software that runs on their processors.

Intel does make direct to consumer computers from time to time (NUC and compute sticks come to mind), but something like this would be competing with their customers, so that's a big conflict.

There's also nothing in this that really needs Intel to do it, an OEM could easily push a SteamBox. I'm not an OEM, but there's no real hard work here afaik. Make good choices in hardware, test and confirm, put in good antennas so that wireless controllers (that are already in the marketplace) are rock solid. Do some support work, etc.

Yes this would drive away their customers to AMD. I am thinking Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer would not take it very well.
