@_left_tail_chud@tekbog WoW appeared in a brief time period where the tech was ready, but the social media and discord etc haven't come yet, so WoW has become this unique 3rd place for a lot of people for the first time. Not the case now. That time is gone, that initial WoW feeling cannot be recreated.
@emilkowalski That worked in solo projects or small organisations. In big ones, there's so much code and it moves so fast, that you couldn't keep up even before agentic coding. You had to find people who wrote the code, and they could be long gone.
@Hymsound@MrEvil37@Sinnoware Again I disagree. You get fewer gadgets (not zero though), but you get to utilise the environment more. It's just fun in a different way.
@tekbog The tech itself severely outpaces its applications. People are scrambling, throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. The chaos is temporary. In time the dust will settle and we'll see clearly where llms are net positive and negative.
