All 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.

no one wants your vibecoded full applications though. not sure why you are building them.

  I 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.

      I 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

      So you are saying I am CTO material. Thanks!

Can we see the applications?

  ... no.

  They are in work, so sorry no. But I can tell you started off - Getting Claude to do the work - creating in python tools - Docker apps - XCode

  Full fledged applications, with full functionality, minimal bugs, localized entirely within your computer?!

  Thing is, AI will also be able to provide substantial support for software it writes. And it will make self-hosting a lot less painful, too. Quirky behavior will still happen, but eh, Excel imports numbers as dates. You can't buy your way out of quirky behavior for all the money in the world.
