Personal Software: The Unbundling of the Programmer?
Why LLMs will transform development but not how you think
it's about how AI tools are enabling a new category of software that simply couldn't exist before.
When someone can describe their specific needs conversationally and receive working code in response, the economics of personal software development shift dramatically.
Think of it this way: just as spreadsheets enabled non-programmers to perform complex calculations and data analysis, AI-assisted development tools are enabling non-programmers to create personal software solutions.
Tired of polite compliments on your presentations? Get feedback that you can actually use | by David de Léon | Medium
When giving feedback on presentations most of us are unsure what to say and how to say it without upsetting anyone. That is why I designed a set of cards that you can hand out to your audience before…
-
Messaging: the message of the talk and the call to action.
-
Clarity: how easy the talk was to understand and follow.
-
Credibility: whether the facts and arguments presented were believable.
-
Engagement: which parts were more engaging, and which less.
-
Voice: pitch, quality, tempo and pauses.
-
Language: the type of language used and variety in expression.
-
Physicality: the speaker’s body language, gestures and movements.
-
Visuals: the quality and effectiveness of any visual aids used.
-
Connection: the speakers rapport and connection with the audience.

Pulse AI Blog - Why LLMs Suck at OCR
LLM’s suck at complex OCR, and probably will for a while. LLMs are excellent for many text-generation or summarization tasks, but they falter at the precise, detail-oriented job of OCR—especially when dealing with complicated layouts, unusual fonts, or tables. These models get lazy, often not following prompt instructions across hundreds of pages, failing to parse information, and “thinking” too much.
LLMs process images through high-dimensional embeddings, essentially creating abstract representations that prioritize semantic understanding over precise character recognition
Consider a simple table cell containing "1,234.56". The LLM might understand this represents a number in the thousands, but lose critical information about:
Exact decimal placement
Whether commas or periods are used as separators
Font characteristics indicating special meaning
Alignment within the cell (right-aligned for numbers, etc.)
