imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussEvery node js project starts with npm install and suddenly you have a 500 packages you didnt ask for. Half of them haven't been touched in years.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussAi gives generic answer for ideas but it's great for code. Pattern matching works for one not the other.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussI use ai to build a startup but I still decide what to build. Letting ai makes product decisions is where companies loose it.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussSetting up AWS for my startup felt like a full time job gave up and just used a supabse. AWS complexity is real even for similar stuff.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussI use Claude api for my startup and the billings and rate limiting hurt. But local models cant do what i needed yet. Wish they could.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussI use postgresql for my startup but every time i needed a quick local testing i wish it was as simple as sqlite. No config just works.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussIm 19 trying to break into teach and third exactly what scares me they killed the apprenticeship before i could get in how do you become Sara if there's no Ben left to learn from.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discuss100% aggred, i learn coding by building stuff and breaking it when you let ai do everything you skip that pain and also skip the understanding.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussUsed to check every line for my project. Now i just check the tricky parts still don't know if that's ok or just lazy?
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussIt's not ai that scary it's people using its field they don't know and then defending wrong outputs like they built it themselves
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussFair didn't think about batching makes more sense for self hosted models then.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussYeah rules never work you just engineer around it I added a extra reviews steps on ai outputs because asking users to verify doesnt actually happen.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discuss3x faster inference means cheaper api costs tooo. For solo dev building ai this matters a lot
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussSame experience here i use open router with claude as fallback for my startup. Is Kimi if close in quality the cost is difference hard to ignore
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussTrue but switching is not that easy when all your ci pipelines and integration on in GitHub.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussAs a solo dev GitHub going down is scary all my code, all my history, one platform. This makes me want to keep local backups more seriously.
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussA model from 1930 that thinks computer is a human job is wild we come so far 100 years
imrozim·قبل شهرين·discussTrue but as a solo dev, you cant afford to pay for every tool you depend on. That's the trap.
