Yes. I quit my job in September, haven't really produced anything since despite having a lot of free time on my hands. I find the software space to be very uninspiring at the moment; everything that's going on is LLMs and crappy LLM wrapper startups. In all my years of HN surfing addiction, the last 6 months have been the most boring, but maybe that's just me.

This AI contortion is just mega-boring with lots of money being thrown as everybody thinks they need to do something - anything.

LLMs are just what is in the news
Why do you think that represents the software industry as a whole?
