A big AI objection around coding has been "If it increases productivity so much, where's all the new software!?" While I'm not sure it's filtered down into consumer-facing stuff quite yet, I feel just inundated with new, ambitious software on a daily basis these days

We're seeing more ambitious projects from smaller teams, which is encouraging. I wonder how many of these applications are still being actively maintained six months later. Building the first version is faster now, but keeping users and maintaining the software takes a lot of work.

Well my examples here dactyl and celld are probably dead because Deno got acquired But celld’s approach is also going to be built into workerd, so… kinda success? Unclear, need more data

Ambitious software does not necessarily mean the business itself will survive. However ambitious things that are backed by a successful business are more likely to stay maintained Thinking of vinext, kitesurf, emdash, tsrs, all of which have dedicated engineers attached to them
