@MrCozyMonkey There was a lot of constraints because of a lot of things and it made incredible inventive games, I always thought that advancements in graphics and such will make games even better but I miss theses games more crafty I guess

Folks act like the slop software they’re cloning would replace Fortune 500 companies if “only they cared”

That ain’t how it works. Lose the ego you just look silly.

everyone can cook. restaurants still exist

everyone being able to build software won’t kill software companies. it just means more people can build what they need

[Marc @MarcJSchmidt]

this is very easy to disprove, empirically from what we see since decades: We have open-source alternatives to most SaaS that you can self-host with a single Docker container. They are basically free and far easier than vibe-coding. Yet, many people still choose SaaS - why is that? Because ownership comes with responsibility and maintenance, both are expensive, economically and physiologically (stress).
Vibe coding costs even more than open source (tokens cost money, prompting costs time, stress costs), and also sometimes more than SaaS, because suddenly you own the bugs and the uptime.
Real fun when it breaks on a Sunday and you have to spin up some prompts to fix it instead of paying 12$ per month to a company that handles everything properly.
I think people use vibe coded currently because it's new and exciting, but eventually see the real costs it has and instead will go with the peace of mind option for a few dollars.

@wagslane Software is hard, llm helps, but still it's hard

[Lane || Boot.dev @wagslane]

I wonder if sometimes what people will need is a piece of well-designed software that works, without 3 hours of prompting before they can use it

@josevalim IMHO Elixir should be around the Node.js version I guess, not that low

[Otman @theotmah]

@4a6d65 I don't understand how they can't just continue to develop it, even slowly.

Imagine betting on it and now that !

Software engineering is dead... In other news, a software engineer with 18 years of experience (me) just spent 15 hours refining a big new feature, asking questions that the frontier models hadn't even considered. Software engineering isn't going anywhere.

@JLarky And they stop support for Deno in one year

[Otman @theotmah]

@HSVSphere They will stop supporting it after a year, for those who had choose them, it is very sad.

I've been thinking a lot about this. Buckle up.

Back in the 90s and early 2000s, most devs worked internally at companies, building custom, on prem, internal software.

Fast forward to the 2010s, and SAAS companies explode in popularity, replacing the need for so many internal devs, because now you build the CRM once, and resell it to thousands of companies.

You might think this would lead to fewer devs... But as we know, the SAAS age was incredible for dev careers.

Now, software is even cheaper. Cheaper even than reusable saas. We're gonna build more software internally again. Not all of it will be internal, saas isn't totally dead, but weird one offs that might have been kinda jankily solved with a kinda-related SAAS, can now be solved with bespoke internal software.

The cost of that software IS NOT zero. People saying that don't understand the concept of zero. But it is cheaper. I predict small teams of internal devs building incredible amounts of highly custom internal software will be a thing. At nearly every company of every type, as long as it's more than a ~30 person org.
