What a rollercoaster.

This is not a healthy way to think. Meta strong-arming news websites is not the beginning of the end. Get off the internet and try to enjoy your life.

AI.

The examples were a one shot. The creativity hasn't even been applied yet.

> Anyone could have taken the time to learn what they wanted, the tools and the resources were available.

False in reality. Just ask any dev who has had to listen to family and friends' app ideas over the last decade. The good news for them is soon they will never be asked again.

I totally understand. I'm a developer with almost 20 years experience myself and it has taken me a while to come to terms with this too. Fortunately, I made enough during the good times to see me out once my job ceases to exist. I'm sorry for everyone who didn't.

That comment was over 5 years ago. That's a long time, and from estimates he has millions of users now. Definitely making big money.

1:1? No, because AI won't know all the outputs, only the ones you show it.

Also if it could recreate it that would be fine, because it would be doing so without having access to the source.

I think we're going to see a lot more of this going forward.

I think we're also going to see the strategy to be to remove the processing and magic sauce from the client and move it to the server where it can't be decompiled and rebuilt with AI.

Prove it?

Feel free to disagree, but you will be wrong.

This is just wishful thinking.

Building the product was never the hard part. Getting it in front of people is. That will continue to be true, except the build stage will be even easier.

I climbed out of the code trenches years ago - I have multiple small companies, I'll be fine.

And yes, they both have moats that will take AI at least 5 years to erode, at which point I'll just retire.

Regarding the dog shit code comment: this is the problem with your whole line of thinking. Customers don't care if the code is dog shit. They care if they get value from the product.

As I mentioned, there will still be some demand for devs who code by hand, similar to how theres still demand for blacksmiths who make ornamental weapons.

> If your magical fantasy becomes reality (it won't)

Keep huffing that copium my friend. I've set an alarm to follow up here in a couple of years.

Because no one is going to hire developers who write code by hand, apart from a few niches. For the same reason that no one hires a courier who delivers by horse anymore, or a miller who uses windmills to grind their grain, or a cooper who continues to use wooden staves and iron hoops instead of forming plastic or metal containers, or...

Codeberg are going to have issues in the future when all code is AI generated (except for artisanal code of course, written for the love of the craft but not to achieve anything of merit).

Well today I learned corner-shape is a CSS property now.

> Undo the acquisitions of Insta and Whatsapp - I don't care that will be expensive, thats a shareholders problem.

Yikes. I thought this was America.

Let's all just believe this baseless assertion shall we.

You have to include more than that, this isn't common knowledge.

> The human body really was never supposed to go over 50

As I get older I'm beginning to align with this.

When you're younger you think everything is going to be great until you die from a short illness at the average age of 79. Wrong. In my cohort of friends, notable age-related degradation started appearing in our late-30s/early 40s, even in the fit ones who stayed active.

No, it just sounds like a troll.

Yeah because it's priced well and it works. It's a no-brainer. (Also if it does go down, well so has everyone else so no big deal)

Also in this list of GOATed companies: Tailscale, Ubiquiti.

I think the most concerning thing we discovered here is when the agents go down, work completely stops.

WE'RE BACK BABY! Work can now resume.

Well, time to end the day here I guess.

This uses a load of private Steam API endpoints to work, and I think Valve has just allowed that because it's a loved community project.

Maybe they'll change their minds when NM tries to monetize it. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they just create their own first-party version, then nuke this one.

> Stripe now controls all of the early incorporation infrastructure now. This feels deeply problematic.

Lol, no.

Firstbase, Doola, Capbase. Not to mention all the old school cos that will help you incorporate in their state.
