The knockout blow has been dealt. The body just hasn’t hit the ground yet. Software is no longer going to be something you buy from others, and get crappy updates once a year that breaks the features you use, to give you bloatware and ‘reasons to buy the next version’ that you don’t want. Software is going to be an organic (if you’ll forgive me applying that term to electrons) beast that evolves minute by minute and hour by hour to better align with your needs. It’s augmentation, on a global, yet reactive scale. I have been paying for AI at the cheapest paid level, for about 2 years now. I’ve moved myself onto the Claude Max x5 plan, and am about to move to Claude Max x20. In the past week, I have built about 6 discrete things, to a standard that frankly feels better than what we can do here at work with CoPilot. As a historical product owner, I note that it challenges what a typical team of 10 people can do. I’ve done a person-year of work (what would have taken maybe 6 weeks with a team of 10 people) in a night. It was a long night, granted, but holy cow, what features, and what an outcome. The difference is in the ancilliary, supporting tools. At work we have CoPilot, which can use Claude’s models - but it is neutered. It doesn’t have the arms and legs that Claude has. Beyond software development, and into research, I’ve also built a research and analysis platform. My augmented research capabilities feel like an intellectual Gregor Clegane. The visualizations got complicated enough that I moved from 2D into my VR headset. So I shrugged, and did that. “I” have now built a full 3D interactive VR tool to better interrogate my data. That was Saturday afternoon. I wonder what I’ll be doing next Saturday. Not waiting for my 9-5 work computer to finish booting - that’s for sure. submitted by /u/Exact_Knowledge5979
