I still would have built it today, what I was unsure of was whether I would have learned GLSL.
The models have been sub-par at writing shaders until recently. Without the friction of needing to learn the language itself to build it, I don't know if I would have.
The most fun I have today is trying to innovate new interesting techniques, which I wouldn't be able to do with the models alone.
I started https://unicorn.studio (first of its kind for layer based shader composition) back in 2020! Thankful that I did because I actually had to learn GLSL the hard way. Not sure that I would have bothered if building it today.
Also a measly level 2er. I'm curious what kind of project truly needs an autonomous agent team Ralph looping out 10,000 LOCs per hour? Seems like harness-maxxing is a competitive pursuit in its own right existing outside the task of delivering software to customers.
Feels like K8s cult, overly focused on the cleverness of _how_ something is built versus _what_ is being built.
SaaS let's you simply pay to make blockers go away. Now that our time is more high leverage, why wouldn't you continue to do that?
Let's say you could vibe your own replacement to a $20/month app in 16 hours. Congratulations, you did work valued at an $15/hour less token expenses (over 1 year).
