imrozim·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·discussAi gives generic answer for ideas but it's great for code. Pattern matching works for one not the other.
imrozim·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·discussFair didn't think about batching makes more sense for self hosted models then.
imrozim·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·discuss3x faster inference means cheaper api costs tooo. For solo dev building ai this matters a lot
imrozim·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·discussTrue but switching is not that easy when all your ci pipelines and integration on in GitHub.
imrozim·hace 2 meses·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·hace 2 meses·discussA model from 1930 that thinks computer is a human job is wild we come so far 100 years
imrozim·hace 3 meses·discussTrue but as a solo dev, you cant afford to pay for every tool you depend on. That's the trap.
