    At this stage with AI and how massive AI generated codebases are growing, the chance of fixing anything manually has already reached 0.

    “The bubble ending” is possible the biggest meme of 2026 (and onwards).

    My main market is still US. Largely US founders with startups and companies.

    I am a small entity, expecting less than $250k in yearly revenue. Somehow I’d be honored to be on that list. I wouldn’t expect to end up there either. And I could just accept crypt…

    Living outside of the US (and EU). I’m in the process of launching an agent assisted automated pentesting and authorized offensive security service. I’m using open weights models t…

    Sure if you want to bake a cake you also need to invent the universe first… As long open weight models get released; no moats are going to exist. Both windows and Linux are weak co…

    Due to all their fumbling I decided to not even try Fable. Why get used to a model with limited shelve life when I can just use the older models that do well for me? Well then 5.6 …

    Instead the same workers would be unemployed if they stopped doing these kind of jobs all together. There are few options in the Philippines, and BPO is actually a well respected c…

    Don’t be naive. Every model provider does this.

    Have you tried accepting less than 200k? Sub 100k maybe. Works for me (at 40+). And then just work several clients as contractor. Beats flipping burgers, comes out at more than 200…

    AI still can’t fake a 50$ background check and verifiable references from past employers or clients you worked for. So I wouldn’t worry about juniors masquerading as seniors. Doing…

    That does make it sound like there are only 2 types of software. The “serious” and the “unserious”. There’s probably a few dozen types rather, it’s much less black and white. At a …

    Anyone that has played civ long enough has done something like that too. I just start pillaging farm land as well, but of course a nuclear strike when you can no longer win would a…

    The tokens/salary ratio is not relevant at all. Because while 200-500$ is a lot of money, it’s still a fraction of the salary you’d pay any dev in the world. It just comes out as a…

    My costs are 0$ as any token or subscription spend on agents is invoiced as an expense to my clients.

    Comment #48667279

    You made me realize something. I routinely spend upwards of 500$ per month on LLMs for coding (expensed towards clients). However I live in a place where 500$ is around the avg. sa…

    Are you actually seeing any signs that we’re going back to how software was written before, and needing those skills in the same way? Because I sure am not seeing that right now. A…

    I am still trying to find a replacement for cursor. But in the past 30D my automations and my own coding has consumed well above 10 billion tokens for less than 300$ with auto and …

    Well to a lot of people this is still a foreign concept.

    Why Python? Because I have written it for 10+ years, know how to debug it and I can smell it within 10 seconds of the agent writing code if it does something that is going to end i…
