What this whole hype cycle is teaching me is that the great majority of people trying out these tools are idiots. I want to use the R word actually.

I’m very happy that I can post ai generated blog posts from my writing. And I’m now averaging 500 unique daily visitors and quite some repeat visits and subscribers with it too. If it wasn’t for AI, then I’d go back to where it was before A

Okay, but now what? Clearly, the industry is trending towards an entirely new style of doing programming. What are the longterm options going to be for those who don't enjoy this? Especially when there is a good chunk of people embraci

I really like building products, and with AI now I can just offload huge parts of the technical duties, and do the actual product building much faster. For me this is where the real satisfaction is. Yes of course, there was a lot of satisfa

That is just a personal opinion, not a fact. Either option can be faster or more productive if it suits your personal coding style. I work with both, I also favor one. But money is not exactly an issue.

Not websites, but rather bigger systems. The largest client I work with now has 150k daily active users, for which I mostly am putting together new backend features. The website itself is completely outsourced to another party with webflow.

If contracting with bigger companies and enterprises, for which I am on 6-12 month projects, and even longer retainers is "greenfield freelancing" then sure. I actually do not really engage in small projects less than that, becaus

For which reason exactly? Everyone will catch up to this eventually.

To me it feels like I’m in the camp of people who has already figured it out. And I have now learned the hard way that it’s almost impossible to teach others (I organized several meetups on the topic). The ability seems like pure magic. I k

Yep! I work on multiple client projects. And while one agent is running in one project, I’m reviewing and writing down the task for another. Generally I just do this 2-3 hours per day; trying to block this time. And then go outside and enjo

I tried it, but I got stuck. I am trying to learn this Language, and I know very little of it. So we are having a conversation, and I just get totally lost. Would be cool if it switches back to English and then actually teaches me what all

I’ve grown quite wary of anything that YouTubers say they are experts on. While actively producing content and streaming as their full time job.

Is this a community college perhaps? I think we have another problem with this industry moving way too fast for even very well funded colleges to keep up. Let alone a community college. Of course it’s sad, but at the root it feels like we a

Every other app on the planet that does not explicitly claim to be E2E encrypted is likely keeping your “private information” readily accessible in some way.

by gngoo 1y ago
What’s the big deal here? Doesn’t every other app keep logs? I was already expecting they did. Don’t understand the outrage here.

Working on AI myself, creating small and big systems, creating my own assistants and side-kicks. And then also seeing progress as well as rewards. I realize that I am not immune to this. Even when I am fully aware, I still have a feeling th

This is going to sound ridicilous. But in the past month, I have been working on an AI agent that can write its own AI agents. I can give it a task like: "Please create an AI agent that fetches the weather, and sends me an email every

I once sat down to calculate the costs of my app if it ever went viral being hosted at vercel. That has put me off on hosting anything on vercel ever or even touching NextJS. It feels like total vendor lock in once you have something runnin

I won't link them, but they are quite easy to find... Most of the accounts offering them are custom DIY drones. The fiber optic attachment spools seem to be mass produced though.

by gngoo 1y ago
The weird part is that they are also advertised on Instagram. More than once I have gotten an ad from an account showcasing these fiber optic drones and their R&D operation. And you can openly contact them for inquries.

Either you adapt, or you don't. But this is what's coming for all software/web & IT jobs. I am not making up the rules of the game; neither am I sitting here and be bitter about it.

Because they are willing to pay my asking rate. Maybe it’s 3 jobs, but for me it’s still one. I can’t help that their 3 other devs aren’t as productive. I’m not here to defend them either. Absolutely quite some companies are going this rout

I am getting paid significantly more than a year ago, but definitely not 4x as much. However, I have a lot more free time than I did before. And this while working on my own side projects as well; which are slowly growing into ramen-profita

I am not the judge of that, but I always felt like I freelanced/contracted out in the fringes. So I am definitely not the average of the industry here.

For me, vibe coding is the only logical way forward. I see that the term gets a lot of flak. But in almost 10 years of writing web-applications for a living, this feels even more exciting then when I finally "got it". And its meas

No. As a Django dev I spend 6 months on a RoR project, and by far it was the least productive time of my 8 year career in web development. I understand why people like it, but coming from Django; u could never imagine being a part of a RoR

I switched to slacking off in my web dev job and doing all then menial work with AI. And then in my mean time I’m learning marketing, sales and product… it’s surprising how far that gets you. I was able to net 300$/mo already just bein
