If coding truly becomes effortless to produce - and by that extension a product becomes near free to produce - then I find it quite odd that the executive class thinks their businesses won’t be completely up ended by a raging sea of competition.
- postsantum 7mo agoThe struggle will completely shift to how to get traffic
- mirsadm 7mo agoThat is already the struggle. There is too much stuff already.
- GoblinSlayer 7mo agoAll that stuff is shit though.
- delecti 7mo agoIs all of it shit, or you just can't find the good stuff? "The struggle will completely shift to how to get traffic" is from the business side, and you're experiencing it from the customer side.
- bot403 7mo agoThe markets seem to agree with you and are pricing accordingly.
- EagnaIonat 7mo agoAll run of the mill software is gone or on borrowed time. Why pay a subscription for a product that I can get something Claude to build it for me. Before I was building tools, now I am building full applications in less time than I did before for tools. What will be around for a while is where you need an expert in the loop to drive the AI. For example enterprise applications. You simply can't hand that off to an AI at this point.
- dominotw 7mo agono one wants your vibecoded full applications though. not sure why you are building them.
- EagnaIonat 7mo agoI am building them because I am using them to do my work faster. I'm not selling anything, but I can see the quality of what is created and it is on-par with much of the stuff on the App store. No one would even notice that it is a co-creation unless I mentioned the time to create it. Just to be clear. Vibe coding implies that you are not reviewing the code that is created, or even knowing what is being created. That is not what is happening.
- dominotw 7mo ago> I am building them because I am using them to do my work faster. interesting. any examples you can share?
- bdangubic 7mo agoI used a bunch of tools from https://setapp.com/ https://setapp.com/ and no longer subscribe. I used to pay for Linear for all my personal projects, built one with CC that perfectly fits my needs… I also built a myriad of small tools that help me automate bunch of busy work I used to do manually, both for professional and personal projects
- gedy 7mo ago> I am building them because I am using them to do my work faster. You sound like CTO at my company rewriting stable libraries in languages he is familiar with and calling it 100x...
- EagnaIonat 7mo agoSo you are saying I am CTO material. Thanks!
- some_random 7mo agoNo, that's exactly what at least some of them think and it's why the market has been so volatile lately.
- glaslong 7mo agoThey're going to have a fast and ruthless testing of whether their product senses and abilities to attract and trap customers were actually skill or lucky positioning, as competition explodes from every direction, including from within customer and user bases.
- Havoc 7mo agoThe exec class doesn’t think about it like that, but rather “if there is turmoil coming it’s better to be on the leading edge of it”. Not unlike all the A.I. companies all determined to build the machine god while predicting it’ll be disastrous. Same thing - better it starts with us
