| It's the web all over again. We have maybe 5 years of freedom before the walls close in around us, so take advantage of the Wild West while you can. |

| I’ve said this for years: Use the VC-funded monthly quota AI to build tools and applications for yourself or small groups. Don’t use a cloud AI itself as the engine of your application. Even if AI goes away tomorrow, the tools will still exist. |

| ▲ | theshrike79 an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | I've had my 99% vibe coded Hazel replacement running for almost a year now. Still works. Same with my bespoke IRC client, RSS feed hydrators and a dozen other small utilities I've vibe coded. All stuff that I've been planning for a long time, but haven't found out the time to dedicate to them. Now I'm saving actual money every year because I could drop subscriptions applications. Not every application needs a weekly release with new groundbreaking features. They're just one and done. Maybe an update if you hit a sharp edge while using it. | |
| ▲ | colonelspace 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I used Claude to document the wire and firmware protocol for an expensive piece of equipment I own where the only software available ran on PowerPC OS X. Is this just "vibes"? Maybe, but I now have a full, verified spec, against which to build software for myself, also with a little bit of "vibes". Is this a good or bad thing? | | |

We miiiight end up in a future where most hardware comes with an OK-ish app/interface and some sort of LLM-Friendly technical documentation so if you don't like $aspect of the device, you're free to roll your own after indemnifying the manufacturer via something like an eFuse. or maybe I really am naive :( |

| ▲ | testtestmetest 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Lmao if a company starts shipping llm documentation for its products so you can tamper with them, you should assume youve woken up in a parallel universe. I think most people on here fail to realize the demand to customize and build things hasnt gone up. Just because llms exist now doesnt mean normies all of a sudden want to start getting into programming, they dont care. The only number thats gone up is people who were slightly interested in programming/CS before but were too undisciplined to learn things themselves. Llms are great for those lazy people. | | |

| ▲ | Crye 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I get the point that you're trying to make, but it's not just people who were undisciplined. I spent many years developing code projects that I remember spending hours every afternoon just to ship a single feature, and that pace has obviously changed. I still get the joy of translating ideas and orchestrating and architecting solutions to problems I have in real life, but just at a quicker pace. If some of those tools and solutions can help other people, that's great. If not, that's okay too. I hope everyone sort of has that mindset who's building today. | |

| We still have amazing freedom on the web like we never did before. They have been trying to stop online piracy for 30 years and have no succeeded at all. |
