It's amazing how much I was able to build for $40/mo- something that would have taken a team of 100 twice the time just a few years ago.

Will always be grateful for the greed of trillion dollar corporations that subsidized me.

I'm starting to see comments like this in a new light after using some primarily AI-coded apps the past few weeks. They are a lot like apps that were built by hundreds of developers/product people over years and years, in the worst ways.

Inconsistent design patterns from page to page, half baked features, inconsistent documentation (but BOY is there ever a lot of it!), NIH ui component libraries that don't act like you'd expect. All that fun stuff.

It's like they speedran the worst parts of enterprise apps.

True but they wouldn't have existed otherwise. If they're end user apps, users generally don't care about the code because they never see it.

[c-hendricks]

Right, but the woes I mentioned don't actually mention code, it mentions the parts end users do interact with.

Build more broken stuff seems to be the endgame of "move fast and break things".

Like PCC building empty cities, numbers go up I guess.

What a world. I want something else entirely but lots of people seem to be fine with this model.

I made so much progress on my personal projects, I actually regret not subscribing sooner. I've been coding alone for over a decade. It's been great having a coding buddy for a change. I'm actually going to miss it.
