Once we have this fully automated, any good developer could have a team of 100 robo SWEs and ship like crazy. The real competition is with those devs not with the bots.

Shipping like crazy isn't useful by itself. Shipping non-garbage and being able to maintain it still has some value.

Would you say cloning a complex saas startup in a week with payments integrated after letting AI just scrape them (or uploading screenshots of their app) is creating value?

[gloosx]

Before you sold it to anyone it will only create bills. Development is such a minuscule part of a successful startup

[sumeruchat]

On vercel its free to deploy a complex app almost.

free cheese is only in a mousetrap ;)

Depends on how many security vulnerabilities are in that payments system.

Or, I suppose, depending on whose value. The consultants that'll have to be hired by the poor shmuck who paid for that will make a fortune auditing and cleaning up the code.

[sumeruchat]

None because 1) this is pretty standard stuff with stripe 2) the good developer can go through the code and fix them in a few hours if there were any

[int_19h]

AI will quite readily write bad quality code with security vulnerabilities even for bog standard stuff (like say SQL injections).

And sure, a good developer can fix it if they will see it. But they won't when running on that kind of schedule.

Not without more information.
