I dictate all the database schema so it can one-shot the rest of the tedious nonsense, like analogous struct types, db getters and setters, etc.
I basically just architect the solutions and it implements it for me.
- zdw 1y agoDoes it generate all of the DB interface code bespoke, or leverage an ORM?
- gametorch 1y agoJust raw SQL queries via the rust sqlx crate. I think ORM is harmful in 2025. In rust, you can get compile-time SQL syntax and type validation; it won't compile if the corresponding columns, tables, etc. don't exist. Combine that with LLMs generating the code for you and it's pointless to use an ORM. ORMs are insanely opaque and prone to horrible bugs and performance losses that are completely avoidable now, imho.
- blinkbat 1y agoand regarding security?
- gametorch 1y agoyep but I triple checked it, of course I also had two different LLMs audit the codebase pre launch and once every so often.
- blinkbat 1y agoand you consider yourself well-versed enough in security to spot check it? just making sure.
- gametorch 1y agolol what is your deal? you're not my dad
- blinkbat 1y agoconsider that I might have your best interest in mind when I recommend taking steps to ensure a mediocre script kid cannot bring down your AI-generated, spot-checked infra.
- gametorch 1y agoconsider that I'm an engineer with decades of experience and I've thought about this too
- bigyabai 1y agoWe're also considering that you've submit this product to HN several times without much serious traction. It's very possible that you are focusing on the wrong features, which enables solo devs to out-compete your product with simple changes. Unless your offering is unique or superior, it will almost certainly lose out to the rest of the market. This kind of market dilution will stop you from attaining $10,000 MRR, let alone a $100m valuation.
- gametorch 1y agoI have gotten serious traction. I hit the front page of Reddit multiple times and people are signing up to pay me while I sleep. I am well on my way to $10k MRR. I am already cash-flow positive. People would rather drag you down in the hole that they're in than climb out themselves.
