imrozim·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·discussAi gives generic answer for ideas but it's great for code. Pattern matching works for one not the other.
imrozim·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·discussFair didn't think about batching makes more sense for self hosted models then.
imrozim·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·discuss3x faster inference means cheaper api costs tooo. For solo dev building ai this matters a lot
imrozim·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·discussGood to know might actually try it for one project 1 st before switching
imrozim·2 maanden geleden·discussTrue but switching is not that easy when all your ci pipelines and integration on in GitHub.
imrozim·2 maanden geleden·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·2 maanden geleden·discussA model from 1930 that thinks computer is a human job is wild we come so far 100 years
imrozim·2 maanden geleden·discussTrue but as a solo dev, you cant afford to pay for every tool you depend on. That's the trap.
