I make apps sometimes and I write sometimes

[Stefan @builtbystef]

Even though I never really work on low level systems, by far the most useful courses I took at uni were on computer architecture and operating systems.

If you understand how computers work at a low level you can very quick grok almost any software dev concept.

Something I’ve noticed since starting to use AI to write all of my code: Its more difficult than ever to know when an app is feature complete. Its so easy to add more and more features

@webdevcody Do you pass all your env vars into claude, or do you manage them with something like AWS Secrets Manager or Doppler?

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@brttfsh Hmm, okay thank you. That makes sense

[Stefan @builtbystef]

Are react server components the main way people build front ends in the React world?

I’m still using React + TanStack Router for single page applications, don’t know what the “industry standard” is these days

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@jackfriks 100 percent. Magic links also suck if you have a web and mobile client. Web-to-app deep linking Is unnecessarily complicated

[Stefan @builtbystef]

I think about that too. Obviously there is a very realistic future where the model providers increase token/subscription prices significantly.

But if there continue to be breakthroughs in hardware and AI research that can continue lowering the cost of inference and training, maybe the large labs never have to surge the prices.

I do wonder how the software profession is going to change over the coming years. At first people kept saying “the models aren’t good enough”, but now the models are pretty darn good.

I don’t think the whole profession is going to evaporate, but it’ll be interesting to see how it changes.

@Gary_Stos @euboid No, its a cli tool

@coryalthoff See a lot of people saying selling, but I think engineering is the most important by far.

Its the most expensive skill to pay for, and without a product you don’t have anything to sell.

@ardent__dev Both

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@trq212 What would an artifact be in this context? The thing the agent produces, so like the code or markdown?

[Stefan @builtbystef]

I never realized how much of a skill it is to be able to write good, technical blog posts

[Stefan @builtbystef]

Hmm I guess I would just define things a little differently. I'd say getting leads is distribution, while sales is converting leads to users/customers. I guess it depends on a bunch of factors, whether your product has a free tier, if you're doing a PLG sales motion or more high touch, etc

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@Jbm_dev yuuup. Once the coding agents get really good at marketing maybe I'll do it more

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@Anas_founder option e. Convex

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@verrsane gotcha

[Stefan @builtbystef]

@verrsane You mean like on chatgpt, or claude? Chatgpt had an auto mode but they removed it I think
