#132299 per month is reaching for a non battle tested product. At most I would pay 30 usd one time and see what it gives me. Amjad at replit is already building this with a whole bounty thing thrown in so tough market. Good luck to you though. Getting yc investment is already a big deal and i think you can definitely lock on to a niche and find PMF soon
They probably aren't ready for a lot of users yet, and the high price will keep only quality customers that might be more likely to stick around and give feedback.

#133Working with someone else’s code is always slower. As a mostly solo developer, I’m curious if a tool like this could speed me up vs writing code myself and using code I’ve written in the past. I think even in with a small team, specific devs can have complete ownership over different chunks of code.
Having AI write a chunk of your codebase may be kinda like having someone else write it, but then leave the project. Plenty of companies work like this, but they move much slower. Anyways I’m sure tools like this will have a market, but I’m not sure they make sense to be adopted by the fastest moving companies

#134Bug/security risk: Something unexpected just happened when giving this a try. Hoping there's just a default string left in the project and some bad error handling.
1. Created new account in Second linked to my personal github account
2. Created project "newproject" in Second selecting link to exisitng repo
3. Success message "git clone /newproject" rel="nofollow">https://github.com//newproject"
4. Create new project now shows the same account in the Select GitHub Account select field.
5. Stuck with no log out button
edit: delete cookies, private window fresh login with personal account details still showing

to log out, btw you can go to app.second.dev/protected. There's a "sign out" button there.
Can you jump on my discord so we can sort it out? https://www.discord.gg/ZhYUEjsW3Z
This is not expected

#136Earlier quoted context omitted.
I absolutely think people wont get hired though, that otherwise would Instead of looking for layoffs, look for the jobs and payment transactions never happening Note: this doesn't bother me
> I absolutely think people wont get hired though, that otherwise would If it is successful, it increases jobs in the field, while shifting skill demands to higher levels of analysis/abstraction. Just like every change improvement in how you program computers since "physically configure wiring or switches". Possibly some individuals won't get hired in the field that otherwise would have, but the size of the field dev…
Software has been automating itself for 75 years. Automation cannibalizing itself forever. And yet there are more programmers than ever. AI will just expand the amount of software or create whole new fields on top.

Looking into this right now. I'm looking through logs for your session, and I don't see any unusual accounts names being returned (looks like you're just using one specific one, won't name it here). I will keep looking

So I've looked through logs of your sessions, and the routes you hit, and APIs called, and I still don't see anything unusual. I may be misunderstanding the issue that you faced. I also don't have any client side data for your session (guessing ad blocker). I'd really like to get to the bottom of this one! If you can find some time today to join the Discord so that we can chat for a few minutes, that would be awesome!

#139Congratulations on the launch! Your app made me excited, although I don't believe I am the target audience. I am a graduate student, I have experience with Python and have built some simple websites using Django, Alpine, HTMX, and Tailwind. I have a few days off and would like to build some projects quickly. Does anyone have any recommendations, ideas, guides, or examples on how I can leverage ChatGPT to build quickly using a strategy similar to the one used by the OP?

Thanks! One thing that I've been learning is that a handful of developers I know are integrating ChatGPT into their workflows more and more.
1) Use ChatGPT to generate small blobs of code 2) tweak it and integrate it 3) repeat
Interestingly, this is very similar to how Second operates as well – but the tweaking and integrating is automated.
