Everytime someone say something like that there is no link to the product. Maybe because it doesn't exist ?
What an awful comment. The person above you is now flagged because of your paranoia. Of course later they post a link to exactly what they built.

Sure but why haven’t you seen a drastic increase in single person startups. Why are there fewer games launched in steam this January than last?
Because very few knows how to use AI . I teach AI courses on the side. I've done auditing supervised fine tuning and RLHF projects for a major provider. From seeing real prompts , many specifically from people who work with agents every day , people do not yet have the faintest clue how to productively prompt AI. A lot of people prompt them in ways that are barely coherent. Even if models stopped improving today, it'…

I'd love to look at what you consider to be good prompts if you could provide a link.
There doesn't need to be any "magic" there. Just clearly state your requirements. And start by asking the model to plan out the changes and write a markdown file with a plan first (I prefer this over e.g. Claude Code's plan mode, because I like to keep that artefact), including planning out tests.
If a colleague of yours not intimately familiar with the project could get the plan without needing to ask followup questions (but able to spend time digging through the code), you've done pretty well.
You can go over-board with agents to assist in reviewing the code, running tests etc. as well, but that's the second 90%. The first 90% is just to write a coherent request for a plan, read the plan, ask for revisions until it makes sense, and tell it to implement it.

100% accurate. The architect matters so much more than people think. The most common counter argument to this I've seen on reddit are the vibe coders (particularly inside v0 and lovable subreddits) claiming they built an app that makes $x0,000 over a weekend, so who needs (senior) software engineers and the like? A few weeks later, there's almost always a listing for a technical co-founder or a CTO with experience on…
If that's true, it sounds like the vibe coders are winning - they're creating products people want, and pull in technical folks as needed to scale.
And about the pulling in devs - you can actually go to indeed.com and filter out listings for co-founders and CTOs. Usually equity only, or barely any pay. Since they're used to getting code for free. No real CTO/Senior dev will touch anything like that.
For every vibe coded product, there's a 100 clones more. It's just a red ocean.

I would like to know what models people are running locally that get the same results as a $20/month ChatGPT plan
Same ? Not quite as good as that. But google’s Gemma 3 27B is highly similar to their last Flash model. The latest Qwen3 variants are very good, to my need at least they are the best open coders, but really— here’s the thing: There’s so many varieties, specialized to different tasks or simply different in performance. Maybe we’ll get to a one-size fits all at some point, but for now trying out a few can pay off. It a…

Looks cool. Are you a Rivian owner who solved their own problem or did you stumble upon it randomly??
Thanks! I used to own a Tesla and there were similar platforms out there. Bought a Rivian and wanted something like that. I started building this before AI-assisted coding was very popular. But it greatly increased my productivity.
I've found AI to be a big productivity boost for myself, but I don't really use it to generate much actual code. Maybe it could do more for me, idk, but I also don't feel like I'm being left behind. I actually enjoy writing code, but hate most other programming tasks so it's been nice to just focus on what I like. Feels good to have it generate a UI skeleton for me so I can just fill out the styles and stuff. Or figure out stupid build config and errors. Etc etc.
Anyways congrats on the product. I know a lot of people are negative about productivity claims and I'm certainly skeptical of a lot of them too, but if you asked most programmers 5 years ago if a super-autocomplete which could generate working code snippets and debug issues in a project would boost productivity everyone would say yes lol. People are annoyed that its overhyped, but there should still be room for reasonable hype imo.
You know when someone is singing the praises about AI and they get asked "if you're so much more productive with AI, what have you built with it"? Well I think a bunch of companies are asking this same question to their employees and realising that the productivity gains they are betting on were overhyped. LLM's can be a very useful tool and will probably lead to measurable productivity increases in the future, at th…
> measurable productivity Which measure? Like when folk say something is more "efficient" it's more time-efficient to fly but one trades other efficiency. Efficiency, like productivity needs a second word with it to properly communicate. Whtys more productive? Lines of code (a weak measure). Features shipped? Bugs fixed? Time by company saved? Time for client? Shareholders value (lame). I don't know the answer but th…

I used to write bugs in 8 hours. Now I write the same bugs in 4. My Productivity doubled. \s
I hear this every day, and I'm sure its true sometimes, but where is the tsunami of amazing software LLM users are producing? Where are the games that make the old games look like things from a bygone era? Where are the updates to the software that I currently use that greatly increase it capabilities? I have seen none of this. I get that it takes a long time to make software, but people were making big promises a ye…
