    Yes, my point is that it was possible to build it before AI and in much less effort than people imagine. People in college build an interpreter in the less than couple weeks anyway…

    Grindr is next Google. Sometimes when I need to search something, I dont even open google or chatGPT, i just type into the DMs of someone and they refuse to answer.

    This is actually a genius level move from Grindr. Anthropic/OpenAI can only dream of the stable userbase like this. Few years ago I even suggested they should add actual brainstorm…

    I am becoming more and more convinced that AI cant be used to make something better than what could have built before AI. You never needed 1000s of engineers to build software anyw…

    No its not. 121M repos added on github in 2025, and overall they have 630 million now. There is probably at best 2x increased in output (mostly trash output), but no where near 100…

    If you look at his github you can see he is in the first week of giving into the vibes. The first week always leads to the person making absurd claims about productivity.
