gkrishnaon Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like nothing matters anymore?

I have spoken to many professionals and looked at some companies usage. I can definitely tell we are in a bubble.

I noticed when a non-tech person tries to solve a problem with AI, they only tend to think in-terms on LLM. For e.g. even for a calculator app they use LLM for compute instead of direct calculation.

Sure they have managed to solve it. But they are remotely usable.

I have seen multiple failed projects taking these vibe coded ideas to production.

I wouldn't be disheartened and give up.
