Software engineer trying to make a living building software at kaizen.io.
I already get hired to replace/fix code built by humans.
Reminds of smalltalk.
I used Claude to build a p2p git daemon on top of git's HTTP facility. We needed to share and collaborate on our code and hadn't gotten our own sub-group on GitLab. So we used this while waiting. It turned out to be amazing. And I love it.
Yeah. I was imagining all the phones connected to each other like those spam farms.
impossible to ignore when told to ignore.
why haven't we replaced C?
I have my chatbot command my chatbot.
just one thing, this is not the simplest stacks you can find.
seems reasonable.
I love doing stuff like it's 1997.
Wait. it was alive?
I love reading articles like this. It's kinda of a slap in the face – "hey guys, you know that thing you've been doing for decades, well for decades you've had this ability to do it with your own stuff if you just spend a few human brain tokens on it".
btw, Git also supports the HTTP protocol ...
Some people do, some people don't.
the war of the coding agents has begun.
Yeah. We know.
Fuck Parkinson's, man.
There are people who hate react?
When I see atlassian, I always think of the road to Abilene. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene_paradox
I’m wonder how many sr engineers are going to quit because they don’t want to read a bunch of code?
XP is still a good method to practice, but now with AI.
the job-to-be-done is connecting the job to the right person. Not job verification.
I built a mobile app dev team in fintech years ago. I remember one person was literally selling their house and moving and was looking for a job. Call it luck, serendipitous, what you will, but the "connection" was made at the right time, right place.
How do we solve that problem more effectively? Cuz right now it's a roll of the dice, constant linkedin messages, etc.
It had 18k users?!
I think it's a more about the cool factor than it is the value creation. I just don't get so many emails that I need something else to summarize them for me and plan my day.
That’s cool. I’m building a mob programmer.
Just to add more credence to this thesis. Here’s the knowledge navigator. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=umJsITGzXd0
It’s a 1987 ad like video showing a professor interacting with what looks like the Dynabook as an essentially AI personal assistant. Apple had this vision a long time ago. I guess they just lost the path somewhere along the way.
I love that you can just "curl download the docker compose file and docker up" to run. Awesome UX.
How did you get people to visit that 1st landing page where they could pay a $10 deposit?
I wonder if this would be a "better" way to build this thing: https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/01/duckdb-iceberg-browser-s3...
DuckDB loaded in the browser via WebAssembly and Parquet files in S3.
They expect to use AI.
