Here’s an impressive Show HN project: a comprehensive, reverse-engineered, LLM-written technical documentation of how a calculator’s operating system works. What a resource!Insert a standard paragraph about how we live in interesting times. I keep seeing projects like this increasingly more often: complex, working beasts – that would previously have been nigh impossible to implement by one person in their spare time – are now springing up like mushrooms after the rain. Here an Apple Lisa emulator; there a modern implementation of a long-forgotten language from the 1960s.Someone asked a simple question in the comments under that Show HN. Sadly, it seems to be gone now; I can’t find it anymore. It went something like this: “Okay, so you’ve built this. Now what?”Excellent question! And one, I think, that we need to be asking ourselves more often these days. I know I want to.It’s all too easy to focus on the (very real) excitement that arises when you see a working result of your prompt…
