AI agents can write code many times faster than a human. What this means is that you, the programmer, have a large amount of time to use those agents to write unit tests, to write acceptance, tests, to write property tests, to torture test, to mutate test, to QA test, and to otherwise ensure that the code meets its functional and quality requirements. And even after spending all that time, you will still be many times more productive than a human programmer, and the result will be better.
plz debate me
my opinion is the reason indie hackers see lower revenue is because we're all indie hackers selling to indie hackers
we're selling software to people who also like building software
so when AI comes along and helps you build 80% of any tool in 30 minutes, of course you'll make your own version
but i don't think it's right to extrapolate that thinking to outside of this "indie hacker twitter bubble" to normal everyday people
i believe this is just a "indie hacker / dev" related thing we're seeing in this twitter space, that's all
just sell software to people who don't know how to build software
Building software by prompting agents without ever reading or editing the code directly isn't actually a new thing. It's just called being an engineering *manager*. We have decades of experience about how to be effective as engineering managers. It is a different skill, though.
We removed ~80% of the Claude Code system prompt for our newest models, this is what we've learned about writing system prompts, skills and Claude.MDs for them. https://t.co/6DZwSrZjE9
another AI wrapper is quietly printing money...
Modyfy launched just 2 months ago and is already doing $30k/month.
they target a rabid sub-culture (car modding) and use an almost zero-friction funnel to get them to the paywall immediately:
• zero demographic questions.
• pure feature showcase.
• 5-star rating prompt before the user even tries the app
• "Preparing..." loading screen to force the opt-in
Build hype. Farm the review. Then drop the paywall.
The big lesson from AI is that everything is code. A slide deck is code. Design is code. That cool promo video? Code. Excel automation? Code. The universe? Probably made of code too.
