The term "single use software" currently lives rent free in my head. People use LLMs to create software specific for their needs. But neither can other people use it (hardcoded variables, no rights management, too specific), nor do they use it again (too […] [Original post on social.luca.run]

Mit 21 habe ich Webse en weiteren Unternehmen habe ich Back up now beitet und mich auf Konzeption, Skalierung und technische Machbarkeit von Geschäftsmodellen fokussiert.

In den letzten Wochen habe ich mir bewusst viel Zeit genommen, mich tiefergehend mit ChatGPT Codex und Claude Code auseinanderzusetzen. Mit Codex habe ich ein Plugin für mein Smart-Home-System gebaut, um mein Energiemanagement (HEMS) an unsere Anforderungen anzupassen.

Die Software basiert ausschließlich auf Open Source: Python, PostgreSQL und Flutter für das Frontend. Das Plugin liest via Modbus TCP den Wechselrichter aus, verbindet sich mit der Wallbox, der Batterie, mit Solcast für die PV-Prognose und meinen direkt ansteuerbaren Verbrauchern.

Vierzehn Stunden Entwicklung, fünf Stunden Testing, dann eine Woche Optimierung und Bugfixing - und nun automatisiert mein individuelles HEMS alles eigenständig.

Früher wurden dafür hohe fünfstellige Beträge ausgegeben. Jetzt ist es einen Prompt entfernt. Individualentwicklung boomt und die Möglichkeiten wirken grenzenlos.

Was mich daran am meisten beschäftigt, ist nicht die Technik. Es ist die Tatsache, dass Softwareentwicklung viel dynamischer wird und einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich wird.

Natürlich bedeutet das (noch) nicht, dass sichere und performante Software einen Prompt entfernt ist. Aber man benötigt keine hohe Vorstellungskraft, um zu sehen, dass KI sehr bald bei Security- und Architekturfragen vollautomatisch leistungsfähige Systeme konzeptioniert und baut.

Die Frage ist somit nicht mehr, ob man etwas bauen kann. Die Frage ist, ob es jemand benötigt und man einen Bedarf decken kann.

Eines ist aber klar: Menschen mit viel Kreativität haben nun ein Tool an der Hand, das ihnen dabei hilft, technische Hürden schneller zu überwinden.

AI does not disrupt. AI entrenches. AI turns money into more money; AI turns investment into dependency. We are living in a funhouse mirror of that right now where the combination of overly-plausible demos and first-one's-free incentives are swamping the actual balance-sheet math. But the […]

@davidgerard Maybe, but from the papers I'm reading in general it feels more like a cost saving measure. You can throw some bots at labeling the data and now you don't need to come up with funds to pay experts to label the data (or even "experts" like "my grad students") Arguably using an LLM […]

@davidgerard That graph is great. Because you hear "9% of GDP" and if you don't have a reference point for it, you might think "9% - that's not a huge percentage" And then you see we spend 9% of GDP on food and the only thing we spend more on is healthcare (because we run the most inefficient […]
