Nice, yeah I feel like there's a big opportunity for tech workers who are product-adjacent to use LLMs to get up to speed building SaaS etc. Are you worried by any of those claims about SaaS being dead because of AI? lol

  Looks cool. Are you a Rivian owner who solved their own problem or did you stumble upon it randomly??

    Thanks! I used to own a Tesla and there were similar platforms out there. Bought a Rivian and wanted something like that. I started building this before AI-assisted coding was very popular. But it greatly increased my productivity.

      There is that quote "there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see". I feel like there is a solid variation with solid business opportunities instead of cathedrals haha. I've found AI to be a big productivity boost for myself, but I don't really use it to generate much actual code. Maybe it could do more for me, idk, but I also don't feel like I'm being left behind. I actually enjoy writing code, but hate most other programming tasks so it's been nice to just focus on what I like. Feels good to have it generate a UI skeleton for me so I can just fill out the styles and stuff. Or figure out stupid build config and errors. Etc etc. Anyways congrats on the product. I know a lot of people are negative about productivity claims and I'm certainly skeptical of a lot of them too, but if you asked most programmers 5 years ago if a super-autocomplete which could generate working code snippets and debug issues in a project would boost productivity everyone would say yes lol. People are annoyed that its overhyped, but there should still be room for reasonable hype imo.

        First of all, thank you. I've always been told I have a back for seeing opportunities others don't. For me, I always had the ideas and even as a competent engineer, the speed of development annoyed me. I think folks get annoyed when their reality doesn't match other people's claims. But I have friends who aren't engineers who have launched successful SaaS products. I don't know if it's jealousy or what but people are quite passionate about how it doesn't have productivity gains. Hell, I remember Intellisense in Visual Studio being a big boon for me. Now I can have tasks asynchronous, even if not faster, it frees up my time.
