Ya my memories are similar: ~12 years old building BBS's late into the night, then after college first startup, programming from midnight to 5am "in the flow" - nobody around or online. Just me and the problem at hand.

that's 100% happening to me right now not just with a specific codebase but with the fun/engineering parts of coding in general.... it makes me sad, slightly concerned, but optimistic that I can build a trillion dollar company with no employees. I'm kidding. Who knows. I'm enjoying building so I guess there's that.

I haven't used them but I'm sure they're good and I'm sure they're even using LLMs themselves now as a non-deterministic pass. For my use cases I'm just trying to keep vendors/costs to a minimum.

I don't have a scientific answer to this but I'm just assuming a different model, and more specifically, the frontier latest models like Fable/5.6 would catch things the author model might skip over.

I find myself doing this but then I worry that the slop will just compound and 3, 6, 12 months from now as my services scale I'll have a harder time operating them. Maybe I'm wrong.

I continually run codebases through different models to have them look for bad code smells like repeated code. That's been pretty effective. You do have to maintain over time or else you end up with a sloppy mess which I can only imagine compounds.

Agreed.

I missed the fact that Meta was developing and releasing closed-weights models... bummer. Would be great to see some more progress with American open-weights models.

there seems to be a lot of burnout from folks who have been in tech for a decent stretch, not just devrel. AI is an accelerant but not the only reason. probably the "power swap" as well as money has stopped pouring into hiring and jobs are more scare now and for the first time in, ever (?), employers have more leverage.

this thread is crazy.. hackers are clearly hacking, myself included. A lot of what I've built I've already seen here:

1. home automation, access point management, solar/battery health monitors

2. family week management with schedules, todo's, scripture of the week

3. page-to-pod (browse, click one button, TTS to podcast episode on my phone)

4. daily summary of AI news to a new pod episode on my phone

5. easy theme switching from light to dark on my mac

6. and more....

what does this mean about the future of software? looks like consumer software will be "instant and on demand".

What sector/size are your offers? The "who is hiring" is shifting. Many large corps are now feeling a couple of squeezes from more expensive capital, to finding their footing in a quickly changing world, to over-hiring, to market pressures to "AI-ify" themselves (doubles as excuse to layoff caused by former three squeezes).

Mid-market saas seems to be getting crushed at the moment for different reasons.

Startups and the AI shops can't hire fast enough, but also seem to be looking at different candidate profiles.

Music isn't really new either it's just recombining riffs already created. But the recombinations create new experiences. Might be the same with design?

i've been engineering things for almost 30 years and getting it wired up to Discord was worse than a root canal. Slack seemed just a tad better but it still doesn't even work.

I feel like most of this can be done with the platform tools at this point or a tiny bit of wiring of your own without the mega-bloat to make something generalized for the whole world.

An Update on Heroku 6 months ago

Time flies. I do think the vision lasted pretty long post acquisition, maybe 5 years or so, but then the inevitable seemed... inevitable.
