Where did you see that stat? And why just 30%, shouldn't almost all of them be built by LLM if LLM is that much better?

Edit: This says a quarter, where did you get the 30% figure from?

Are you seriously pointing out the difference between 25% and 30% as meaningful?

wow 25% not 30% ya sure got me

> shouldn't almost all of them be built by LLM if LLM is that much better

a) not every yc company is a software company

b) these things take time, and not everyone knows how to use these tools

this stuff should be pretty self evident.

Perhaps bobxmax should have asked an LLM what the exact number was instead of relying on his outdated & error prone human memory.
