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.

1. Debian Developer resigns from the project in response to the recent vote to allow generative AI use within Debian. 2. A member of the debian-devel mailing list sends the message at left in response. 3. I just sent the message at right in response to that. #Debian #Linux #AI

good riddance, antoine the fascist. you love causing damage to the debian project and now you're throwing a temper tantrum like a five-year old child because you can't comprehend the ai evolution. you are nothing more than a deranged person who spits at people's work and expects people to follow their unhinged beliefs, a waste of human space. you are the one who is being fascist here.

Either the Debian Community Team officially, on the debian-devel mailing list, states that the message below from David Nickelson violates the Code of Conduct and imposes consequences on him for sending it, or I am resigning as maintainer of apt-listchanges and never again taking on any volunteer role within Debian.

My contributions to Debian thus far have been extremely small, and I'm sure they will not be terribly missed. Nevertheless, I will not continue to associate myself with an organization which allows messages like the one below to be sent without repercussions.
