No disrespect to this gentleman, but I just don't get how anyone can post this kind of stuff nowadays. I think I'm too far gone. This level of inefficiency makes my blood boil.

let's say there were two pieces of software for accomplishing a task that you do semi-frequently: program A is open source and vibe-coded. it's a bit rough around the edges; you run into bugs occasionally, and once in a rare while you have to open up claude code and fix them yourself. the UI isn't great: it's full of LLM-isms and can be a bit confusing at times. it gets frequent updates which often include pointless UI changes, and gets tons of new features that you honestly rarely actually end up actually using. but, you can always fork it and have claude make it better fit your tastes. program B is a one-time purchase and made by someone who deeply cares. the UI looks a little bit dated and it definitely has a small learning curve, but once you understand how to use it, it feels like a well designed tool, with lots of intention put into every design decision. you almost never run into bugs, and when you do, they're rare edge cases that the developer fixes promptly. it definitely has fewer features than A and gets updated less often, but you very rarely run into situations where it doesn't have what you need, and almost every update is a genuine QoL improvement. would you be willing to pay for B? if so, how much?

I just tried the nomads website of Levels and god is that site badly made. Reviews in Mexico are 3 years old and most sound terribly entitled. I have no idea why some builders have so many followers when their products simply suck. Do people simply believe what is posted here and never try any of the products?

boy next to me asked chat gpt can he bring his cava on the flight and now he’s having a full on kii with the bot

the best login UX is by far the enter your email get emailed a code enter the code

We have the opportunity to make PHP the fastest it's ever been and *now* you're jumping ship? smh

Fair. 90K LOC isn't a small app. But that's exactly why I used it as the example. My point was never that 90K lines is “small.” And for sure AI can write this amount of code. The question is what happens when the system becomes complex enough that you need someone to understand the architecture, the business logic, the dependencies and the consequences of a change. And the reality is that a lot of guys out there do not have a clue about all this software engineering tasks, so it all results in a mess. If AI can eventually handle all of that reliably without experienced engineers, I'll happily admit I'm wrong. But we're just not talking about the same thing if your argument is simply “AI can maintain 90K LOC.”

I released this btw - file.cafe Upload whatever you want for free. There's no ads or popups or any bs like that. Just don't abuse it and be nice and don't upload bad stuff that can get me in trouble. thank you™

if every single service could please just stop signing me out all the time that would be great
