Don’t worry. By the time they grow up they’ll just ask the AI for a summary of their childhood.

My guess is Gemini Pro coming later will be 2x more, bringing it comparable to Opus’s pricing.

So set up e2e tests and make sure it does things you said you wanted. Just like how you use a library or database. Trust, but verify. Only if it breaks do you have to peak under the covers.

Sadly people do not care about redundant and verbose code. If that was a concern, we wouldn't have 100+mb of apps, nor 5mb web app bundles. Multibillion b2b apps shipping a 10mb json file just for searching emojis and no one blinks an eye.

Equipment for any real life hobby costs money, and people are willing to pay for good equipment. Why is software so different? FOSS has made us so resistant to paying for good software. I'm not saying software has to be expensive, even $20 per major version could make a burgeoning indie industry thrive.

Companies will pay OpenAI to prioritize more of their content during training. The weights for the product category will now be nudged more towards your product. Gartner Magic Quadrant for all businesses!

I do like the standalone HTML file approach. With coding agents it's quite easy to build a suite of tools for personal use. Additionally if you review the code, you can trust if it's really private/secure.

The ones on mine are more visual focused since cli tools are better at conversion, formatting and such.

Some PM: users are locked in to our ecosystem; they can't load other apps after ours! /s

But for real, the average number of apps people downloading get fewer year over year. When the most popular/essential apps take up more RAM, this effect will only exacerbate. RAM prices have also doubled over the last 3 months and I expect this to hold true for a couple more years.

Unfortunately, most people just want eggs, not the burden of actually owning the goose.
