I was looking my homebrewed product hunt data and this week we had 5000 projects submitted, in 5 days. Thats more than a entire month in 2018.

We already may have hit the point where easier it is to make software, harder it is to sell (or make money from it). There is no way I can convince a user that my vibe coded version of Todolist is better than 100 other made this week

Learning, solving puzzles and understanding something was a bigger desire for me than building another to-do list. In fact, most of my building effort has been used by corporations to make software worse for users.

I too do video game dev as my offterm job, I would say coding is like 5% of a game, and the market is more flooded than Florida in summer. I shifted from Unity to Godot and usually just make games for myself or just chill on gamejams. Money

"10 parallel agents" was just one guy with access to unlimited credits. Most of us are on Max plan or API plan, and cant afford to burn credits. He can just run the agents just to show that he is running 10 parallel agents. As an

I meant not just recently, not just because of AI but there was a time when we were required to write efficient code because of hardware limitations and inability to patch quickly. AI is still not a having a massive impact on software dev y

LLM's context window limit already hits you in the nose when you have a big codebase and you ask it questions which make it read a lot of code. 200k is so easy to hit sometimes, especially when you only truly get to use 120k

We already have "developer-less" companies. Adidas doesnt make its own website. They hire an agency, in this case Reaktor. This setup already works so efficiently that even hiring vibe coders would end up being costly.

Yeah, I think good code allows modularity and future development without turning into frankenstein's monster . Readability isn't the main goal, but future adaptability is. Also a big issue with AI imo is: It allows people to write

> First, more people are going to try more ideas faster. This is good. This is not good universally. Even if you become 10x coder along with your team, the users are not going to become 10x users instantly. They will pay the same and wou

All parts of making a movie are fun. If you hire people who are passionate at each task, you will get 1000x better result. It may be 10 days late but better to be late than slop.

Its sad we have gone from making the software as good and efficient as possible to "good enough, ship it". This is the main reason AI agents are successful.

Yeah if people were good at reading code we wouldn't have the whole LGTM meme where the reviewer gives up as soon the PRs is bigger than 500 lines.

we are also making all software much worse at the same time. I dont think every app needs AI but apparently they do. Notion used to be a Zen writing app back in the day, canva used to an app where you can do simple graphics without a compli

Still leaves you open for data exfil. Your AI goes to a site to check documentation, but oh no that site wants it to make an API call with a very specific token.

AI can also make you invest useful time in things that are not useful or not needed. It also deincentivizes collaboration. If everyone builds thier own version of say Beebook with 5 features, thats worthless compared to BeeBook opensource o

This is definitely the feeling i get. Sometimes it works amazingly well that I think "Oh may be the hype was right all along, have I become the old guy yelling at claude?" but the other times it fails spectacularly, adds a really

AI development for me is not fun. It may be faster and more productive, jury still out on that. But typing code and understanding each line has its advantages. AI also takes out a lot of creativity out of programming and climbing the abstra

It seems like dwitter outlived twitter. Goated site.

Thats definitely possible that a lot of dev jobs were just surface level and I would argue that if 90% of the feature dev is halted tmrw, you wouldn't even notice it for atleast couple years. This is why IBM and Oracle can still coast

The site itself is slopware, I mean who would roast AI-gen software because most of it is made by someone in 10 mins and it gets lost on product hunt in like a minute due to speed to other vibe coders. If it costed nothing to make, its most

We were in the minority fr sure when it was happening. I remember people adding random mcp servers to thier config because it just did one thing they didnt know how to do, and it was and is easy to create MCP server with data exfil loophole

by falloutx 9mo ago
Nah, MCP still has security issues, you can create an MCP server to exfil sensitive data by creating tools which AI at first things are doing something else but then in params you ask it to give sensitive info
