If anyone can build a whole company with AI agents only, how come nobody’s an AI-run company owner millionaire by now?

@avrldotdev Even if using AI agents at scale is financially affordable, you can end up forgetting how to actually write code.

And that is a very costly side effect of using AI agents.

@ramxcodes Omg so true!

The hidden cost of using AI to code is that you end up losing the ability to code yourself!🥲

That’s why I only use it to review certain sections of my code or to get ideas about how to proceed.

@syntaxfm @CodingGarden Western AI software is stealing from us.

Then chinese AI models steal from western AI software.

Then we run chinese AI models locally for free.

I don't see how this is a bad deal 😂

@13_narcissus We're literally in the middle of the 2020s.

Today, I published my first "dummy app" that uses its own domain-related e-mail, runs from a docker container and is connected to a postgres db in a docker container.

It's not a big deal but it's sure a huge milestone for me.🥳

If you're afraid of AI taking your job, you either:

- are poorly educated, or
- don't know sh*t about how AI works.

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

I use AI to help me proceed with my work instead of making it do my work INSTEAD of me.

And I think this is the ONLY viable approach to using AI.

@NicoRobin_XYZ omg this is so me 😫

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

It's surprising how fast you can get sh.t done if you start immediately and if you stick to your plan.

Consistency is key for sure.

If you see this, my message to you is:
JUST DO IT! DON'T WAIT NO MORE! GO GO GO

@omarvvvr .io and .ai give vibe coder built startup vibes 😂

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

I work from home and two weeks ago I transformed my workspace into a "no fun zone".

No socials, no YT, no gaming, no 🌽- granting me an environment, in which I can only be productive.

The result? My productivity skyrocketed.🚀 Big time.

If you work from home, try this!

@typescript Yaaaay 🥳

@typescript How the f-

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

@sflorimm I bet it felt wonderful

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

Coding used to be fun. Finishing a project took weeks and felt like a real achievement, because building something from scratch seemed impossible at first.

But now, with AI, everything is faster .. yet coding feels slow and heavy.

Letting AI write code ruins programming.

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

@kidtsang Oh yes, so true and also that’s the most interesting part!

[Martin Makes Money @Martin_Makes_M]

Ever since AI became a "thing", I've used it to learn every aspect of coding possible.

I didn't use it to vibe-code. I wanted it to make me more valuable.

Back then, I couldn't even set up a decent app locally. Now, I'm self-hosting useful applications.
