Ouch, but I'm not interesting in writing software as much as I'm interested in making enough money to spend the rest of my days sipping piña coladas on a beach in a foreign country.
All I really need is for the product to work well enough that I can fundraise and hire someone who's better at programming than I am, someone who hopefully doesn't write comments about how unimportant other people's work is on HN.
- gspr 5y agoOK, that's fair enough, you're not interested in the engineering side of things – but then expect blowback if you decide to comment on exactly that.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI am interested in the engineering side of things, for sure, but only insofar as their actual outcomes and justification as part of a value-add to a business. GitHub Copilot, if it can create "mostly working" code, is a huge value-add to an early business trying to find product/market fit because it cuts down on the time it takes to prototype and generate early versions. Not every piece of software has to work perfectly every time, and I don't think that's the standard to which we should hold any automated coding tool.
