surajtripathi79··on Software Is Completely Solved
I think some saas will die, but having common cross industry/cross company softwares being managed by a seperate entity would make logical sense for the broader world(better design, seperation of concern?), even if arguably they could create their own version of that company.

Case in point, PM management software (Jira), might be a very easy tool now for any company to make(a very naive stand, but in a world of ai not far fetched to argue), but managing and maintaining that software is still a chore, and it might not be in the interest of everyone to spend their effort on it. They might still prefer paying for it. Now, the product itself might die and some other product might take its place, but still that new product would be an individual thing. Atleast that's what I think.

surajtripathi79··on Algorithmic Art: When AI Writes the Code, Where Is the Art?
> Is randomly throwing paint art?

According to wikipedia, art is a range of human activity, that provides an audience a worthwhile experience (emotional, thinking, beauty)

So if randomly thrown paint made you think, that would be art.

surajtripathi79··on Software Is Completely Solved
Maybe personal niche software is solved, but enterprise software isn't.

Also many times solving a problem people don't even realise they have, would still give immense value to the one who creates it, even though anyone could have created that software if only they thought about/identified the problem.

As they say, we will have a renaissance of software development

surajtripathi79··on Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup?
1. Claude code, ultra plan, chatgpt go plan (India has a ~3$ plan) 2. Use pay as you yo openrouter with kimi2.6 for an api wrapper interface I have to work with my business APIs, connected to whatsapp. 3. I use opencode alot at my office that connects to a bunch of mixed models gpt-luna, claude. But prefer claude code, because (dunno if others feel it) opencode feels clunkier, and slow. I suspect that's because of the llm routing through my companies infra. 4. Have not made anything work, have tried GasTown, its horrible imo. Also, I think I am not able to trust the setup, and worry about token wastage (which cheaper models do more off when left unsupervised) 5. Open law - connecting with my personal calender, gmail, whatsapp, side gig infra - first responder for my business whatsapp for a slice of whitelisted interactions.
