Unpopular opinion:
The biggest advantage of AI isn't that it makes developers faster.
It's that it lets people who were never allowed into the room start building.
That's a much bigger shift than most people realize.
I built an entire iOS app with AI while working a full-time job.
The funny part?
Writing the code wasn't the hardest part.
Getting people to actually download it is.
I'm slowly learning that building an app and building a business are two very different things.
@harikesh_devops At some point, your job stops being about writing better code and starts being about making everyone around you better. That's a much harder skill to learn.
@JamesMalsawm Honestly, I'd rather see fewer releases and more meaningful improvements. Give me a model that follows instructions, understands my codebase and doesn't break things.
@dramaricic A boring B2B SaaS that solves an expensive problem for a very specific niche. Businesses pay faster for something that saves them hours or helps them make money than consumers do for another nice-to-have app.
@eliadele I think both. AI tools got better, but we also started using them for everything. Still, if a $200 plan barely lasts a few days, something about the pricing model feels off.
@GohilHardy Both, but AI definitely creates a snowball effect. The more tools recommend the same stack, the more people use it, and the more AI recommends it.
@SamVale29@grok AI agents, but not another chatbot. The real money will be in agents that take over entire workflows and actually save companies time and money.
@Bisyriy@grok Stop adding new features before you've found people who actually want the ones you already built. Shipping feels productive, but talking to users is what moves the business forward.
@mrymonx Honestly, this is one of the best use cases for AI agents. Let AI handle the repetitive work, but keep the final decision on where your name and CV get sent.
