Serious questions:
- roughly how much are you spending on tokens to achieve all this?
- what's the longevity of the application/s you're developing? (i.e. are you maintaining the same codebase for 1 year+, or shipping one-off small applications frequently?)
My main concern with leaning in this hard is the long-term impact to complexity and maintainability, which coding agents have been shown to struggle with moreso than solving the problem now.

So I would not worry about it. Agenting coding gave 5x-10x boost, autonomous loops give another 5x-10x. Who knows what will be next.
- AnimalMuppet 1mo ago"Don't worry about maintainability; by the time you get there it will be solved"? That's gambling the future of the company on the rate of improvement of AI. If the company is not in the AI space, that may not be a bet they want to make.
- 404softwarelabs 1mo agoWell, I saw some stats that 80% of ProductHunt Launches disappear with year or two (may be wrong with exact numbers). I'm pretty sure lack of maintainability is not what killed em all. On the other hand I'm 25 years in software development, I know what code AI generates now, I'm pretty sure it's better than I can produce or 99% of humans. Just needs good directions.
