It's amazing how much I was able to build for $40/mo- something that would have taken a team of 100 twice the time just a few years ago. Will always be gratefu

It's amazing how much I was able to build for $40/mo- something that would have taken a team of 100 twice the time just a few years ago.
Will always be grateful for the greed of trillion dollar corporations that subsidized me.
- c-hendricks 5mo agoI'm starting to see comments like this in a new light after using some primarily AI-coded apps the past few weeks. They are a lot like apps that were built by hundreds of developers/product people over years and years, in the worst ways. Inconsistent design patterns from page to page, half baked features, inconsistent documentation (but BOY is there ever a lot of it!), NIH ui component libraries that don't act like you'd expect. All that fun stuff. It's like they speedran the worst parts of enterprise apps.
- satvikpendem 5mo agoTrue but they wouldn't have existed otherwise. If they're end user apps, users generally don't care about the code because they never see it.
- c-hendricks 5mo agoRight, but the woes I mentioned don't actually mention code, it mentions the parts end users do interact with.
- intrinsicallee 5mo agoBuild more broken stuff seems to be the endgame of "move fast and break things". Like PCC building empty cities, numbers go up I guess. What a world. I want something else entirely but lots of people seem to be fine with this model.

- matheusmoreira 5mo agoI made so much progress on my personal projects, I actually regret not subscribing sooner. I've been coding alone for over a decade. It's been great having a coding buddy for a change. I'm actually going to miss it.
