Knows a thing or two about engineering

I built Beckon: press ⌥⇧Space in any Mac app and hand what’s on your screen to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Gemini.

The answer streams right in the bar. No copy, paste, or explaining which file.

unpopular opinion: shipping an app in a weekend with AI isn't the impressive part anymore.

getting 10 strangers to use it again the next week is.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

i love seeing tiny open source tools get more attention than giant funded startups.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

question for indie devs selling software:

would you rather have 100 people paying $10/month or 100 people buying a $99 lifetime license?

assuming you're building and supporting it alone.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

the next big improvement in AI coding won't be generating more code.

it'll be agents that can understand logs, traces, existing architecture and why the last deployment failed.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@Henryf1w I have had my fair share with it

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@BuildByAman Hey, sure

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

Looking to connect with builders and devs out here. Hey :)

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

anyone else switching between claude code, codex and cursor depending on the task?

i'm curious if people are settling on one agent or still using 3-4.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

mac users, what's one tiny annoyance in macOS that you wish someone would just build an app to fix?

not a huge feature. something you deal with every day.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

building the product: 2 weeks

choosing a domain: 3 hours

getting the first 10 paying users: apparently a lifetime

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@xerysee claude does the better job i believe

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

claude code or codex?

not for benchmarks. which one do you actually trust with a large existing codebase?

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@bb833dong true

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@bb833dong Yes, as of now claude is best

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

AI can write 1,000 lines of code in minutes.

somehow reviewing those 1,000 lines takes longer than writing them myself used to.

we solved typing. not trust.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@AmolWalunjsv18 The issue is with loops, it will fix one thing and break 5 other. Predefining the tests is something I find useful and to be sure that nothing else breaks.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@talhash_ A mac app

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@bb833dong If you know the codebase I believe any model works fine as long as it follows the guidelines and rules.

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@LeoZhang57 That works as, I will usually discard things from the list it provides and work on things which actually matters

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@rishilautomate Claude, but I will still check the code it wrote and test it before merging

[Ashish Sharma @sarmaasis]

@master_jpma I have seen people building their own version of things with infinite bugs and security issue.
