There are no tricks other to learn how to code and make projects. I don't understand this hype behind all the tools.
I talked to a Data Scientist that was apparently paying for Claude Max and making so many apps, only to find out he doesn't even know how to use git or github and has nothing published.
He blabbered about using agents for everything and spending all day making projects. Whereas I'm here struggling to make a directory website with next.js, cursor, prisma, learning backend and making things work.
I still do courses and keep improving, I don't understand why there is so many people that don't read code or use an IDE anymore. So much bullshit, but a lot of leaders, at the same time, are supporting this theory.
What am I missing?
So what is your programming setup? Hype is making fundamentals confusing
It feels like everyone is exaggerating their claims about what they achieve with AI therefore making stacks and tool use choice very confusing nowadays. AI subscriptions overlap and it's always about the next best model. I think we're at a point where most of the popular ones do well.What is your code toolkit currently? IDE, boilerplates /UI scaffolding, cloud services, CLI, agent tools, prompt...
Use the AI to coach you, instead of relying on it as a crutch.
Why aren't there more tech startups serving B2B /prosumer finance?
I went down a rabbit hole of investigating funds like https://www.motivepartners.com/ and their portfolios. A lot of b2b finance startups in these PE/VC portfolios seem to be very underdeveloped compared to traditional SaaS. Maybe it is because sales are almost exclusively relationship-driven and they thrive on privacy, but I can't help but frown and believe there should be more of these tools,...
