Can anybody name one meaningful, substantial piece of software produced by an LLM?
(Cannot be just a ui, a demo, exciting only in concept, or a vibe coded vibe coding platform or whatever. I mean real, meat and potatoes software. Not a toy or a gimmick.)
This is a good question, yet the trend seems pretty clear right now
This is an honest question. Does anybody have an example?
I’ve yet to see a major SaaS company get up ended by a startup with only a few employees 🤷
Still hoping to find at least one example. Anybody?
I don't think that rules out success. I have code in production at work and I'm not even a dev. I plotted the structure and vibed it out 1 function at a time. Full build from nothing. It gave me the balls to go nuts trying to build things for myself. Not a server guy but I vibed a proxmox server into existence for my self hosting, trying hard to infrastructure as code the whole thing so I can add new services and fix issues easily. I've also got an arduino portenta on my desk slowly coding up a home automation project, brand new to C++ and learning as I go function by function. I've got a lot to add but what I built so far took an afternoon instead of a month and it works.
I assume major players are seeing similar internal adoption styles. No one is shitting out a brand new piece of commercial software in a brand new market overnight. Individual PRs, bug fixes, and new features for existing big players are being built by LLMs though. Also lots of tiny productivity hack tools.
The major players and the startups have access to the same toys here so it makes sense to not see massive market disruption.

heavy Claude and OpenCode use with oh-my-opencode also Jeybrains AI Junie
But these are just ui, right? Or am I misunderstanding?
hm, back end as well. serving API ....
but AI is still only good for design patterns, that are easy to understand.
Laravel has a massive documentation and own MCP boost.
Back end of an app like that is still just app dev. That kind of stuff was barely programming in the first place unless you need to scale it and not really what I meant by substantial
I don't watch that guy because his delivery is not to my taste, but I have seen coverage of this mess, yes. Appearantly they threw a wild token budget at it too
Probably all major software now has vibed code. So, I nominate all.
They for a fact vibe code at Google, meta, Amazon… probably Microsoft too. So..: anything that came out of those companies used LLMs
it’s early 1900s,
you asking “can anyone name one meaningful road trip traveled by a human in a car?” misses the point of people trying out cars and after having used horses their entire lives…
