Just finished helping a vibe coder fix a critical bug in his mobile app
That was the entire scope: one bug
He’d already spent months trying to fix it himself, so he was desperate to get it sorted
What impressed me was how much he’d built on his own:
A web app.
iOS + Android apps.
Even wearable apps.
He got ~95% of the way there using @Lovable 🤯
But that last 5% had him stuck for months.
It took me a few hours to unblock him.
I also gave him a free guide for getting everything production-ready, whether he decides to work with us or finish it himself.
AI is making it possible for people to build an incredible amount on their own.
Sometimes they just need an engineer to get them through that last 5%.
(And then the real underlying work of getting the app production ready 😄)
@DavidOndrej1@promptyx_ai Going to market in Europe is so hard
Everh country speaks a different language and has its own regulations, and the EU has regulations on top of that
Not to mention that the street layouts are harder to deal with for FSD
I’m thrilled to announce my new position at @typesafeai as jev’s slower brother, jef
I’m tasked with replying to comments on this post.
You send:
data + a question
choices
I reply with probabilities for each choice
@CauseWhyNot_eh There are some places where I was using LLMs for classification. I can now use Jev instead.
Other than that, the applications I think of are more for fun!
@no_stp_on_snek@ibocodes In theory, it should work
but I have to admit that my primary source is the sus demos for now 🤷♂️
I wanna try it for something like chess and see how well it does against existing chess bots (although the latency wouldn’t get a proper test in that case)
It’s a weird time to be a software engineer…
I get requested to review PRs with Claude generated description bodies, commit messages, and ticket descriptions, let alone the code itself
And the cherry on top is the author of the PR not even reviewing the code themselves before asking for a review!
