"Writing" code is cheap but this just scratches the surface. Its a completely different paradigm. All forms of digital generation is cheap and on the verge of being fully automated which comes with self recursion loops.
Yeah I don't buy the build internally argument. Its not necessarily the building of an internal tool that is the problem it's the maintenance and service level guarantees that you get from a vendor that are arguable more valuable so you can focus on the thing that matters for your company. Product market fit is now more important than ever and there are so many additional options now; focus on the "right" thing is more valuable now than ever before.
Yeah that feels like the right approach to enable the code generation to test itself which then becomes a matter of specification and functionality definition instead of worrying about code quality.
Are you doing all of this in cursor or something like Claude code?
There is a common theme of "the end result is all that matters" but there are pretty big long term repercussions of design and implementation choices. For side projects and POC experiments this feels like the right approach but the risk flip flops for large scale projects that have the more risk associated with them. Maybe it is just through testing and validation checks?
Not trying to diminish the work at all because it works well but I hate this UX pattern. There is likely a reason this hasn't been done. If it wasn't for the pick -> scroll -> place instruction I would have no idea how to use it.
- no support for company lookup/reference (need to build company DB and connect the social graphs, this is why Linkedin is so valuable/has a moat i.e. your biggest challenge.)
- No ability to add a custom section to my profile.
- I would like to add things non-work related like music i'm listening to, books I'm reading etc...
- The above makes things more personal, but I would go even further the more intimate the better IMO. Work is personal.
Automated intelligence is now cheap....
