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.

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.
