๐ง I just soft launched https://t.co/vwrQK8iCNp โ an automotive platform I've been heads-down building for months.
No big announcement. No massive marketing budget. Just shipping.
Here's what's live, what broke on launch day, and what's coming next ๐งต๐
This is not a class style function with a constructor. To allow for the "this" keyword. Thus, "this" is inaccessible. Invoking 'function' would allow for the usage of 'this' the ES6 lambda arrow functions don't allow for that so you'd have to pass in an argument to 'greet: (name) => ...'
Look, since this blowing up, I donโt wish anyone to lose their livelihood because of this BUT this is what happens when enough people try to be โcleverโ -> youโll always be playing a losing game

@avrldotdev Interviews are only half of it. The bigger cost is reviewing. If you've stopped reading diffs closely, you can't catch the agent quietly adding a second auth path or an N+1 query. That shows up in production long before it shows up in a whiteboard round.
Build your way towards the revenue generating tasks to climb the mountain. Don't build your way towards a hole into the desert where there's no customers, no revenue, no awareness. Just a pit of burnt tokens. Make the tokens worth something ๐๐
If you're using AI all day and you're not making more money, it means you have the same problem you had before the AI: you're doing stuff that doesn't matter.
This is the real reason 99% of people don't get ahead. They don't know how to tell the difference between what's important and what's irrelevant. And just doing irrelevant things faster gets you the same outcome: nothing.
Except this time it cost you tokens.
You pick a ticketing tool because it's free. Custom event pages are another tier. RSVP tracking is another tier. Removing their logo is another tier. You sell $10 tickets to 30 cars. The upgrade costs more than the gate.

Currently the only app that helps you make money and enjoy the car community. I've interviewed 500+ people from 2019 stealth building and got the founder edition members ready. ๐

I just started THE ANTI SLOP REGISTRY ๐ค. Who wants to be an early directory member for their company? You'll have a dedicated seal to show on your site, GitHub profile, and documents for proposals. Plus anti slop tools. As customers are losing trust in this emerging AI market to have a "trusted provider". AI watermarks are coming soon.
Comment if you're interested ๐
Every week someone posts a story like this and calls it an AI problem. It's a permissions problem. If your coding agent has write access to real paths with no dry-run step and no backup, you built the incident, the model just executed it faster than a junior dev would have. The fix isn't 'be more careful with AI.' It's ordinary engineering discipline: least privilege, staging first, verify before delete. Nobody wants to hear that because it's not exciting.
Claude Code was told to clear a temp folder. In 103 seconds it decided to delete about 48,000 live files instead.
It stopped, saying it "broke something".
Hello founders and vibe coders a like! ๐ I am working on a new tool to get you better results with software engineering using coding agents, saving you money on tokens and time. It will replace probably 1-4 paying subscriptions. Instead of going full speed into building it, would anyone be interested in something like this?
The profession, skill, and due diligence to know architecture is more important than ever now. If you don't know how something works under the hood, you shouldn't be the one coding. Give it to someone who knows how to run a SOLID, DRY, and YAGNI codebase ๐.
Bury your head in the ground at your own risk. I aim to not jump on any hype trains, but since Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2 + the harnesses it was clear that these things can write code nearly as good as I can in my best language; better in other languages.
But we won't see non-devs push production code for a long time; possibly forever, if you ask me. Software still needs to be built in robust ways, and it's our profession to do this well, and use the new tools we have, which create new and interesting (+tough!) challenges
